The band had difficulty locking to sync, so Moroder stopped the unfinished sessions to save time, and took the project back to Los Angeles to more quickly add the final parts with his own picked musicians, including a keyboard solo by Faltermeyer. Stein's guitar and amplifier were buzzing and noisy, so his setup was repaired to get a clean recording. Faltermeyer was engineering when Harry sang and Chris Stein played electric guitar. Then the project moved to New York for the Blondie recording session, at which the band surprised Moroder by insisting they would play their own parts.
In 2014, keyboardist-composer Harold Faltermeyer remembered the recording process as having three main sections: first Moroder and his music crew recorded an instrumental version of the song at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, with the tape locked to SMPTE timecode so that it would synchronize with the film. The bridge of the original English-language version also includes Harry saying "call me" in two European languages: Italian: Amore, chiamami, lit.'Love, call me' and French: Appelle-moi, mon chéri, lit.'Call me, my darling'. Harry said the lyrics were inspired by her visual impressions from watching the film and that "When I was writing it, I pictured the opening scene, driving on the coast of California." The completed song was then recorded by the band, with Moroder producing. Problems playing this file? See media help. The lyrics were written from the perspective of the main character in the film, a male prostitute. Harry was asked to write the lyrics and melody, a process that Harry states took a mere few hours. Moroder turned to Debbie Harry of Blondie, presenting Harry with an instrumental track called "Man Machine".

Moroder originally asked Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac to perform a song for the soundtrack, but she was prevented because of a recently signed contract with Modern Records. "Call Me" was composed by Italian disco producer Giorgio Moroder as the main theme song of the 1980 film American Gigolo.
