Captain Hollywood Project is a famous '90s Eurodance music project and live touring act best known for the worldwide crossover hit "More and More." At the peak of their success in the '90s, the project itself achieved over 20 million in worldwide record sales and 10 Top-20 hits on European music charts.

The project was first formed in 1992 in Nuremberg, Germany by music producer, rapper and dancer Tony Dawson-Harrison (aka Captain Hollywood). While the project has often been considered to be a one-man act built around Harrison as the frontman/rapper, a talented roster of female backup singers, dancers, songwriters and electronic music producers have always been included in the act by Harrison himself.

Today, the project is now recognized as a live duo act starring Harrison and singer/dancer Shirin Von Gehlen (aka Shirin Amour). As a duo, the two regularly perform year-round with a band of live musicians and dancers at concert venues all around the United States, Europe, Canada and South America.

The title comes from the main character's name, Axel Foley (played by Eddie Murphy), in the film. (It also happens to be in the key of F minor.)

Faltermeyer recorded the song using five instruments: a Roland Jupiter-8 provided the distinctive "supersaw" lead sound, a Moog modular synthesizer 15 provided the bass, a Roland JX-3P and Roland JX-8P provided brassy chord stabs, a Yamaha DX7 was used for tube bell or bell, bass 1/bass and marimba sounds and a LinnDrum was used for drum programming.

According to Faltermeyer, the initial reaction to his premiere presentation of the cues to the film's producers and director didn't result in an immediate approval; it wasn't until director Martin Brest voiced his approval that the producers showed enthusiasm.

In addition to the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, the song also appears on Faltermeyer's 1988 album Harold F. as a bonus track. Reportedly, Faltermeyer was against including it, but MCA insisted as it was his most recognizable track.
