Songfacts®:

  • This soulful ballad finds Blige regretting a missed opportunity to hook up with a guy who captured her heart. She recorded the orchestral song for the Think Like a Man Too movie soundtrack.
  • The song features a contribution from Pharrell Williams. The "Happy" star previously worked with Blige when he produced her No More Drama track "Steal Away."
  • The movie is a sequel to Think Like A Man, a 2012 romantic comedy based on comedian Steve Harvey's book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man.
  • Blige was no stranger to writing songs for movies - "The Living Proof" was featured on The Help soundtrack a few years earlier - but this was the first time she recorded an entire soundtrack album. It also featured the single "Suitcase" and the promo tracks "Moment Of Love" and "A Night To Remember" (a remake of the Shalamar song), which were released on iTunes.
  • The soundtrack album debuted at #30 in the US, selling 8,688 copies in its first week. It was the lowest sales debut of any of Blige's albums up to that point.
