Maxwell described this to MTV News as "a bittersweet love song about meeting the right girl at the wrong time."
This was Maxwell's first single release since his 2002 cover of Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work."
Black was the first album of Maxwell's BLACKsummer'snight trilogy. He explained to MTV News: "Three sides of my crazy personality. Black is dark. Summer's is the lighter side. That album is more of a gospel side - not in the traditional sense, but more like Deepak Chopra meets that minister or that pastor down in the South somewhere. The Night album is the ultimate love record."
