"The Woman In You" is one of five songs the Bee Gees contributed to the movie Staying Alive, the ill-fated sequel to Saturday Night Fever. Director Sylvester Stallone used the Bee Gees songs in his movie more as background music rather than the prominent way Saturday Night Fever had featured them. The single received more airplay than the Bee Gees previous 2 singles, though not enough to reach a Top 10 position. The video, directed by Brian Grant and conceptualised by Keith Williams, which did air in rotation on MTV, featured each brother in a working class job where they all come in contact with the same woman who lures them away.

In interviews following the release of the movie and soundtrack, the brothers expressed their displeasure at the way their songs were edited and revealed that their hearts were not in the music. By 1983, The Bee Gees were focusing their talents on solo projects and productions of other artists, so it is not surprising that they were not all enthusiastic about the Staying Alive movie.
