Vocalist John Wetton said he wrote the song as an apology: "the whole song is just an apology. It's just saying I fucked up. I hold my hand out and I got it wrong. I never meant it to be like that. I didn't want it to be like that. And so I'm sorry. That's basically what "Heat of the Moment" is".[3]
