The song's ironic message was also partially due to Gaye returning to the arms of his fans after a five-year layoff. The song is about a man coming back to an old lover after several months apart. In the song, he begins it by thanking several people for helping him make the album for CBS Records, including Harvey Fuqua, Gordon Banks, Mike Butcher, CBS' black music chief Larkin Arnold, and "most of all, we want to thank our Heavenly father, Jesus!" before the song's melody emerges. This was the final song Gaye recorded and finalized for Midnight Love. Surprisingly, Gaye made just a few additions to this song. Gaye and Banks produced the song and arranged his vocals, recording multi-layered background vocals on one date, and a solo lead the next. Upon hearing the demo of Banks' song, Gaye requested to record the song, which Banks agreed. While working with Gaye in Europe, first on several tours and then together at a Belgian recording studio where they recorded Gaye's Midnight Love album, Gaye had struggled to complete his new record, his first outside Motown. The song was written by Banks with another act in mind that he was producing back in the United States.
