"Heat of the Moment" was the last song recorded for the album. It was released on CD on The Very Best of Asia: Heat of the Moment (1982-1990) (2000). It was never given a regular release on a studio album, but it was included in the EP Aurora (1986), released only in Japan. This song was written by Wetton and Howe. "Ride Easy" is the B-side of the singles released outside of the United Kingdom. The song was written by all the band members, Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer and John Wetton, and can also be found on the Asia album. This was the case with the next two albums (that the last song recorded was to be the first single-I think it’s because Geoff and I are very, very focused by the end of recording) with “Don’t Cry” and “Go”. No-one else particularly “got” the song, and it was the last song to be recorded for the album. The lyrics are an abject apology for my dreadful behavior towards a particular woman (the woman I would eventually marry, but divorce 10 years later), the chorus began its life as a 6/8 country song, but when Geoff and I started writing together, we moved the time signatures around, and “Heat of the Moment” emerged. It was named by Lee Zimmerman of Paste as Asia's signature song. It was written by singer and bass guitarist John Wetton and keyboardist Geoff Downes. " Heat of the Moment" is the first single released by English progressive rock supergroup Asia from their 1982 eponymous debut album.
