The video was produced by Joseph Sassone production manager Jack Edward Sawyers and edited by Scott C. The director of photography was Bernard Auroux. The video was filmed on 16mm film negative Van Nuys Airport, Van Nuys, California, on July 23 and was directed by Mark Rezyka for Mark Freedman Productions. The single was also the first to feature Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley sharing lead vocals since 'I' from 1981's Music from 'The Elder'. The drum tracks were recorded by Eric Singer, who would become Kiss' full-time drummer following Carr's death.

Although he was too ill to play drums on the track, he is featured on backing vocals during the a cappella break, singing the repeated line '.to everyone, he gave a song to be sung', as well as performing drums during the video for the song. It was the last Kiss song to feature longtime drummer Eric Carr before his death three months later after it was released as a single.

It is one of the few songs from Kiss' 'non-makeup era' to be played live since the band returned to wearing their trademark makeup in 1996. Though the power ballad covered the original Argent 1973 version 'God Gave Rock and Roll to You', it had substantially modified lyrics in the verses, thus the reason behind the slight change in the name of the song. It was later included on Kiss' 1992 album Revenge.

Unrest remade the song as 'God Gave Rock & Roll To You II' for their 1992 Bavarian Mods EP. The song has also been covered by Bride featuring rap group DOC and by Midtown. In 1989, the British band the Truth released a version. Petra then re-recorded and released a somewhat updated version for their 1984 album Beat the System. This version had modified lyrics in the verses from the Argent original, while the chorus remained largely unchanged. The Christian rock band Petra first released a cover version of the song in their 1977 album Come and Join Us. The original lyrics include a reference to British pop singer Cliff Richard, known for his Christianity. The 1997 CD re-release of All Together Now has the track included as a bonus. Argent recorded the song in 1971 during the sessions for their album All Together Now, but it originally did not appear as an album track until 1973's In Deep, and was released as a successful single at that time.
