Kim Carnes was born on July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California. Her father, James Raymond Carnes, was an attorney, and her mother was a hospital administrator. Carnes knew she would be a singer and songwriter from the age of three, despite the fact that she was not born into a musical family. My mother didn't get my career, and my father, who was an attorney, didn't think singing and writing was even a jo. As a four-year-old, Carnes "married" her next-door neighbor, musician David Lindley . Two follow-up singles were released from the album, the title track and "Draw of the Cards," which also charted in the UK and Australia. Carnes and her band rehearsed "Bette Davis Eyes" in the studio for three days to take the melody and overall sound of the record to a darker, more haunting place.
The song was written by Kim Carnes, Bill Cuomo, Dave Ellingson and Val Garay. It was released as the second single from her 1981 platinum certified album Mistaken Identity. Draw Of The Cards peaked at number 13 in Switzerland, in Austria and at in the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
