It was Prince's first ballad to be released as a single and was mildly popular on the R&B chart, reaching number 65.

[2] The ballad speaks from the perspective of a young man who has not yet found love but yearns for it.

The track is mainly piano, acoustic guitar and synth-based and was often played live with extended instrumental solos and audience teasing.

The song is a more traditional R&B ballad, before Prince established himself with trademark sexual romps like "Do Me, Baby" and "International Lover".

British female duo Dorothy covered the song in 1988, peaking at number 81 on the UK Singles Chart.
