A song from another band that submitted a demo to Simmons Records, this recording features Gene's partner Shannon Tweed and her mother on backing vocals. According to Gene, "When I first told people on my web site, GENESIMMONS.COM to send in demos, I received close to 5,000 demos. 'Whatever Turns You On' came to me as one of those demos. It didn't have that title. I contacted Dave Williams, the lead singer of the band who wrote it. I called him, told him I was interested in the track, and changed it around a little, changed the title, it was my chorus idea and I rewrote some of the lyrics. The musical track is Dave and his band. Singing background is Miss Shannon Tweed, and her mother, Louise and a friend of theirs" (GeneSimmons PR).
