“Ain’t No Sunshine” foi gravada em Los Angeles, mas recebeu overdubs em Memphis sob a engenharia de Terry Manning.
A produção da faixa contou com Booker T. Jones, que além de produzir também fez o arranjo das cordas.
No lançamento de 1971, a canção alcançou o nº 6 na parada R&B dos EUA e o nº 3 na Billboard Hot 100, tornando‑se o grande sucesso de estreia de Bill Withers.
Em 2009, a música voltou ao Top 40 no Reino Unido depois que Kris Allen a interpretou na oitava temporada de “American Idol”.
Em 2024, o single foi incluído no National Recording Registry da Library of Congress, reconhecido como obra “cultural, histórica e/ou esteticamente significativa”.
