A Different Beat is the twelfth solo studio album by Irish guitarist Gary Moore, released by Castle Music in September 1999. Produced by Moore with Ian Taylor, the album saw Moore continue to jettison his familiar blues and hard rock stylings work for a more experimental pop approach, following Dark Days in Paradise (1997). The musician was inspired by modern dance music and sought to create an album that fused dance rhythms with guitar work, and collaborated with musicians Roger King and the E-Z Rollers to help him achieve this.

It was written by the group's principal guitarist and singer Peter Green, with an additional credit for manager C.G. Adams.

The lyrics deal with the common blues theme of the unfaithful lover and share elements with earlier songs.

Lynott also played bass guitar on the track, alongside Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey, thus reuniting the short-lived 1974 Thin Lizzy line-up which had recorded "Still in Love with You", "Sitamoia" and the single "Little Darling".
