This was written by Billie Rae Calvin, a female singer/songwriter who was formerly a member of Undisputed Truth. She wrote it with Barbra Streisand in mind, but she had a connection with producer Norman Whitfield who usurped it for his group Rose Royce instead. Whitfield, who produced the track, worked for Motown Records but brought Rose Royce to his own label, Whitfield.
In this melancholy song the narrator regrets splitting up with her lover who has departed to somewhere wishing she can follow them so they can reconcile their relationship.
Despite not charting in the American Pop charts, the song has become a classic covered by many artists including the girl group Cover Girls who scored a #9 pop hit (#38 in the UK) with a dance version with it in 1992. It was also covered by Beyoncé for an advertising campaign promoting Tommy Hilfiger's new perfume, True Star. Her version was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 2006.
