Greenfield had been collaborating with other songwriters as well (such as Jack Keller and Helen Miller) but had almost no success after breaking off from Sedaka.

[1] Ironically, "Love Will Keep Us Together" would become their biggest hit when recorded by the Captain & Tennille in 1975; the success (along with Phil Cody's encouragement) prompted Sedaka and Greenfield to resume writing songs together in the late 1970s, culminating in their last hit, "Should've Never Let You Go."

The song is a nostalgic self-description of the breakup of the songwriting partnership between Sedaka and Greenfield.

Greenfield's lyrics include numerous homages to the songs he and Sedaka had written in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Agnetha Fältskog (ABBA) recorded a Swedish cover version in 1973, "Vi har hunnit fram till refrängen" as the B-Side to her solo single, "En sång om sorg och glädje" which reached #1 on the Swedish charts in 1973.
