A letra foi escrita por Miles Gregory e inspirada no cuidado médico que ele recebia devido ao agravamento de sua saúde física.
O enredo da música surgiu do interesse do produtor Norman Whitfield em colaborar com o compositor britânico Paul Buckmaster, que então pediu a letra a Gregory.
A canção foi uma das primeiras a utilizar eficazmente os efeitos de reverberação do instrumento Pollard Syndrum TwinDrum.
A gravação original ocorreu principalmente na casa do contratante musical Gene Bianco, com a cantora principal Gwen Dickey presente durante o processo.
A versão cover de Madonna foi incluída no álbum "Like a Virgin" por sugestão de Michael Ostin, chefe do departamento de A&R da Warner Bros. Records.
O videoclipe da versão de Madonna foi filmado em uma suíte vazia de um hotel abandonado e gravado em uma única cena, sem cortes.
