Various media outlets reported in May 2008 that Casablancas, Santigold (Santi White) and Williams had teamed up to create the song for Converse's centennial "Three Artists, One Song" campaign. White told Gigwise.com that Casablancas and White recorded "My Drive Thru" separately, "so it ends up being just this weird long song with sort of everybody with lots of their own personalities separate." Williams worked with Casablancas and White individually in Miami, New York City and Los Angeles. Santogold described the song as "such a Pharrell track." White continued that she wasn't worried about the song being for a brand. "It's like one of the main ways to get our music heard now, and so it's stupid for artists to shy away from that."

陈百强重投华纳之后的第一张专辑，凭借《一生何求》，丹尼迎来他歌唱事业的又一个高峰。标题歌曲《一生何求》同时获选港台十大中文金曲和十大劲歌金曲；它吟唱出大时代芸芸众生的得失宿命，是Danny情歌之外的另一首经典的哲理歌曲。
专辑中收录的《冷暖风铃》《心碎路口》等，也都是陈百强一贯风格的情歌，而一首《对不对》，则表现了情侣间难以避免的误解隔阂与对错交织，Danny唱起来声音带一点点沙哑，较为特别。
