Primarily a covers album, it was released as quickly as possible to prolong the unexpected success of 'Nuff Said!

It was Simone's third subsequent single released in the UK after "Ain't Got No, I Got Life" and "To Love Somebody" both became hits.

The song also uses a guitar lick similar to "Old Brown Shoe," which had been recorded by the Beatles the same year.

John Lennon commented on the similarities in a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone:I thought it was interesting that Nina Simone did a sort of answer to "Revolution."

Simone was surprised by this and said to Sylvia Hampton, author of the biography Break Down and Let It All Out about this: I don't get it.
