"Force It" was recorded at Morgan Studios and Wessex Sound Studios in London. Ten Years After bassist Leo Lyons took care of the production. Chick Churchill, also a member of Ten Years After, plays the Fender Rhodes electric piano keyboard on the record, the first use of this instrument on a UFO album. Due to the unusual bright sound, the electric piano offered a new contrast, a novelty in the hard rock genre, which until then had mainly known the heavier sounding Hammond organ.To top it off, UFO showed a new willingness to experiment on "Force It . " They began to look beyond genre boundaries, exploring progressive rock and using odd time signatures, for example in the song "This Kids", which features complex 11/8 metering.As album singles, the Brits released the songs "Shoot Shoot" / "Love Lost Love" and "High Flyer" / "Let It Roll". A total of six of the songs from "Force It" appeared on UFO's groundbreaking 1979 live album "Strangers In The Night", once again highlighting the album's importance in the band's catalog.
