The song was Sylvia's last top 10 hit on the Hot Country Singles chart, and the first for Johnson, who had enjoyed success in mainstream pop music in the late 1970s and early 1980s, charting several songs that reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. While Sylvia had only one other top 40 country hit, Johnson went on to be a consistent hitmaker on the country chart, reaching No. 1 in 1987 with "Give Me Wings" and "The Moon Is Still Over Her Shoulder."
