The popularity of "You Can Do Magic" was paralleled by the success of the parent View From the Ground album which rose to number 41 on Billboard's listing of the top 200 albums.
This song is about a skeptic who doesn't believe in love until he meets a girl who shows him it's real. A key component in this song is the "do do do do do do" vocal break, which Russ Ballard put into the song specifically to suit America, whose two vocalists could create a nice harmony.
