Īfter three released singles and the almost finished debut album Speak and Spell, Clarke left Depeche Mode at the end of the first European tour and founded the duo Yazoo with Moyet in November 1981, whose name Moyet suggested based on the American blues and jazz label. Clarke started looking for other musicians and responded to an ad from blues and jazz singer Alison 'Alf' Moyet on the British music magazine Melody Maker. Dave Gahan particularly didn't like Clarke's composition Only You. His bandmates at Depeche Mode criticized his ability as a songwriter, and Vince Clarke couldn't handle the band's early publicity. Clarke and Moyet knew each other since high school in Basildon in the county of Essex in southeast England.
