A música “If I Can’t Have You” foi escrita pelos irmãos Gibb—Barry, Robin e Maurice—membros dos Bee Gees.
A primeira versão lançada foi a de Yvonne Elliman, incluída na trilha sonora do filme “Os Embalos de Sábado à Noite” em novembro de 1977.
Um mês depois, os próprios Bee Gees gravaram sua interpretação, lançada como lado B do single “Stayin’ Alive”.
Apesar de ter sido lançada como B‑side, a canção ganhou maior notoriedade pela performance de Yvonne Elliman, tornando‑se mais lembrada sob essa versão.
A trajetória da música mostra como uma composição dos Bee Gees pode ganhar vida própria quando interpretada por outro artista, evidenciando a influência da trilha sonora do filme na popularização de músicas inéditas.
