The recordings for The Right to Rock took place in the Record Plant studio in Los Angeles and in the Media Sound Studio in New York; Stephen Riley worked as a guest musician with the additional percussion tracks and vocals contributed. Simmons contributed a total of three tracks in the album; in the creation of these songs, none of the members of the group was involved. In addition to the eight created by own songwriting tracks the band recorded a cover version of the Rolling Stones song Let's Spend the Night Together.
