Odyssey Squeeze Imagination Hazel O’Connor "Will You?" was the only track in Breaking Glass that was not written specifically for the film: in her 1981 autobiography Uncovered Plus, O'Connor stated that the song had been written some time before that.[3] In 2014, she told The Guardian that she had been upset after reading a story about a man who had died when the shop he had entered to buy a sandwich had been blown up by an IRA bomb.[4]
The song is noted for its lengthy alto saxophone solo, played by Wesley Magoogan. While touring the UK in November and December 1980 in support of her album, O'Connor was supported by the then-unknown Duran Duran, and in his autobiography the band's John Taylor stated that "Will You?" was "the highlight" of O'Connor's set, and called Magoogan's solo "the emotional peak of the show" Ultravox George Harrison
