It was released in June 1986 as the first single from his album Fallin' for You for Years. The song was Twitty's 35th and final solo number one country hit on the Billboard chart and 51st overall (he also reached number 1 five more times on Billboard in duets with Loretta Lynn during the 1970s, giving him an overall total of 40 Billboard number ones) The single went to number one for one week and spent a total of 13 weeks on the country chart.[1]
