A gravação de “The One Who Really Loves You” foi produzida com vibrações de vibrafone, conferindo à voz de Mary Wells uma suavidade inédita em relação às suas composições anteriores.
O single chegou ao oitavo lugar na Billboard Hot 100 e ao segundo na Billboard R&B, marcando o pico da carreira de Wells até então.
Foi o primeiro de três sucessos de top ten que Mary Wells teve com a colaboração de Smokey Robinson no mesmo ano, depois de “You Beat Me to the Punch” e “Two Lovers”.
Smokey Robinson escreveu a música descrevendo a mulher que alerta seu namorado para não cair em falsas promessas de outras garotas, enfatizando a autenticidade do seu amor.
Em 2001, a cantora Jessica Sanchez reinterpreta a faixa ao sampleá‑la em “Still in Love”, trazendo o clássico para uma nova geração.
