Hal Bynum and Bud Reneau wrote the song. Loveless released it in December 1989 as the fifth single from Honky Tonk Angel, and it became her second number one, reaching the top in the week of 10 March 1990 after 26 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart. In its original form it had a much slower tempo. Tony Brown, who was producing her, decided to speed it up for the arrangement she recorded.
