Yes, I believe Collins wrote this song with Genesis while simultaneously working on the "No Jacket Required" album, hence the horns. Simply a fun song.

This was recorded earlier, between Collins' first two solo albums. But yes, it was his collaboration with the Phenix Horns on "Face Value" that prompted the idea to use them on Paperlate and No Reply At All.
