[edit] Song information
The ballad was released right as Abdul became engaged and married to Emilio Estevez. They married in California on April 29, 1992 but then divorced two years later in May 1994.
Stevie Wonder made a special guest appearance on the track playing the harmonica.[1]
The single's b-side was a track from the Spellbound sessions called "Good Night, My Love". It was recorded for a compilation as well called, "For Our Children". The song was for the Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Like the previous single "Vibeology", the single reached the top 20 (peaking at number 19), becoming a modest hit for Abdul.
The music video for the song featured a digital composite of 5 versions of Abdul wearing similarly coloured white outfits. Each "version" of Abdul performed a different style of dance to the song (ballet, jazz etc...) and ultimately settled into a choreographed routine in which they danced with one another.
