Written by Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson and produced by Harvey Fuqua and Johny Bristol, the doo-wop styled recording features background vocals by Ashford, Gaye, Terrell and Jackey Beavers, and instrumentals by The Funk Brothers. The song peaked at #5 on Billboard Pop Singles chart and #2 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart.
A cover version by D'Angelo and Erykah Badu was released in 1996, and an a cappella cover of the song by Cedric the Entertainer and Avant figures in a gag sequence in the 2004 MGM film Barbershop 2: Back in Business. Sarah Connor recorded the song as an overdubbed "duet" with Marvin Gaye on her 2007 album Soulicious. Another cover of the song was recorded by Peter Cox of Go West and Easther Bennett of Eternal and appears on Peter Cox's 2006 CD "Motor City Music(Curb Records).
