Originally recorded in April 1988 for Stevie Nicks' album The Other Side of the Mirror, as working title "Tragedy Of One's Own Soul" and also earlier for a song titled "Lily Girl", both with lyrics written by Nicks.

There are bootleg versions of both songs widely available online, since neither have ever been officially released by Kenny G or Stevie Nicks.

It has become the unofficial national closing anthem for food courts, outdoor markets, health clubs, shopping malls and train stations throughout the country.

Many businesses begin piping the music over their loudspeakers shortly before closing at night.

Some trains staffed by Nanchang Railway Bureau play the song when reaching their final destinations.
