The story behind

When approaching *I'm Not Moving*, we encounter a piece that, although brief, condenses a particular energy. With a duration of just 2 minutes and 35 seconds, this song was recorded with the collaboration of engineers such as Nick Launay, Hugh Padgham, and Karen Segal, while the production was handled by Phil Collins along with Hugh Padgham. It is interesting to note how the sound of this track was conceived in a collaborative environment, adding the visions of different professionals to shape Collins' proposal.

The context of the recording of *I'm Not Moving* is framed within the creation of *Face Value*, Phil Collins' first solo album. This album, released in 1981, saw the light under the Virgin label in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and internationally with Atlantic. While *Face Value* is remembered for including the hit *In the Air Tonight*, this other song is also part of that moment of artistic exploration for Collins, who was already known for his role as lead singer and drummer for Genesis since 1971. His solo venture, at a time when Peter Gabriel had left Genesis in 1975, allowed him to explore different musical facets, and *I'm Not Moving* is an example of that sonic quest.
