The song, as well as the album on which it is featured, was a marked departure from Chicago's traditional soft rock, horns-driven sound, taking on a more polished and modern feel. There were minimal horns on the track, instead featuring more layered synthesizers and heavier distorted electric guitars in a more updated 1980s fashion. This was done to revitalize the band that was considered by some to be past its commercial prime at the time.
The album version of 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry' segued into a second song titled 'Get Away,' which was closer to the older horn-driven Chicago sound.
Deviating from Chicago's practice of having mostly band members playing on their albums, 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry' featured several session musicians. The song featured producer David Foster on the piano, as well as three members of the American rock band Toto: Steve Lukather on guitar, while David Paich and Steve Porcaro both contributed synthesizers. The song's vocals were performed by Cetera and new member Bill Champlin.
The music video, itself using the album version, was shot in Greece. In Chicago performing the act with some studio musicians.
The single managed to make it to number 4 in the UK singles charts.
