This, is our fork in the road Love's last episode There's nowhere to go, oh no You made your choice, now it's up to me To bow out gracefully Though you hold the key, but baby Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there Whenever you need me, I'll be there I'll be around I, knew just what to say Now I found out today That all the words had slipped away, but I know There's always a chance A tiny spark remains, yeah And sparks turn into flames And love can burn once again, but I know you know Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there Whenever you need me, I'll be there I'll be around...yeah Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there Even if I have to crawl, I'll be there I'll be around Just call me on the phone, I'll be there I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there Just call out your name you know I know you know I'll be around

A música foi gravada nos Sigma Sound Studios, na Filadélfia, com a banda de apoio MFSB fornecendo a instrumentação.
O riff de guitarra característico, tocado em oitavas, foi executado por Norman Harris e destaca-se na produção suave e em andamento médio da faixa.
Originalmente, "I'll Be Around" era a cara B do primeiro single do grupo na Atlantic Records, sendo "How Could I Let You Get Away" a cara A.
Os locutores de rádio acabaram preferring a tocar "I'll Be Around", o que levou a gravadora a inverter o single e transformou a faixa em um sucesso inesperado.
A canção passou cinco semanas no topo da parada de R&B dos Estados Unidos, marcando o primeiro número 1 do grupo nessa categoria.
Foi o primeiro registro dos Spinners a vender mais de 1 milhão de cópias, alcançando também o terceiro lugar na parada Pop dos EUA no outono de 1972.
