Het is de tweede single van hun tweede studioalbum Reggatta de Blanc. De oorspronkelijke tekst van het nummer is heel anders. Na een avond hevig stappen in München komt The Police-zanger Sting terug op zijn hotelkamer en wil net dronken zijn bed in gaan, wanneer er plotseling een riff in hem opkomt. Hij staat op en begint door zijn kamer te ijsberen, en mompelt "Walking in my room, ya, ya, walking in my room". De volgende ochtend schrijft hij de riff op, maar besluit dat 'Walking in my room' toch een iets te simpele tekst voor een nummer is, dus maakt hij er "Walking on the Moon" van. In zijn autobiografie vertelde Sting dat de tekst van "Walking on the Moon" ook gedeeltelijk geïnspireerd is door zijn vroegere vriend (nl)
