The first of three duets LaBelle recorded on Womack's album (the other duets being the minor hit, "It Takes a Lot of Strength to Say Goodbye" and "Through the Eyes of a Child", which featured LaBelle during the chorus and bringing up the rear of the song), it was the first U.S. release off the album and became a hit on the R&B charts becoming a second consecutive top ten R&B hit for LaBelle, then enjoying her then greatest success with the pop ballad, "If Only You Knew", topping the charts a few months prior to this song's release. LaBelle would have a third top ten hit that year with "Love, Need and Want You".

It was Womack's first top ten R&B hit since "If You Think You're Lonely Now", in 1981. Womack's brother Cecil Womack contributed to backing vocals in the song.
