[4] Petty and Nicks also sang together on the songs "Insider" (from Petty's album Hard Promises (1981)) and "I Will Run to You" (from Nicks's album The Wild Heart (1983)), and frequently performed impromptu live versions of these and 1960s classic "Needles and Pins" in many shows through the 1980s.

[6]The lyrics are about a woman who feels weighed down by relationships and wants to part despite a strong sentimental attachment to her lover.

A demo version of the song, recorded without Nicks, was eventually released on Petty's boxed set Playback (1995).

Jimmy Fallon and Stevie Nicks performed the song in a humorous recreation of the 1981 music video on The Tonight Show on April 9, 2014.
