Songfacts: You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.
This was the only hit for Australian vocalist Samantha Sang. This song was written by Barry and Robin Gibb for the film Saturday Night Fever, but was not used in the movie. It does appear in the 1978 Joan Collins film The Stud.
This Disco-era ballad explores the devastating feelings that come with the end of a relationship when you are heartbroken, and wonder what your lover is doing now.
The 3 Gibb brothers provide back up vocals on this song. The Bee Gees released their own version of the song on their 1991 retrospective-plus The Record.
In 1978 Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams' recorded this song as the B-side for their American chart-topping single "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late."
In 2001 Destiny's Child recorded a cover version of "Emotion." It reached the Top 10 in both the UK and US. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above)

Comments:
I like this song.I thought it was the Bee Gees at first.

The Bee Gees own version from '91 is superior to this version, with Robin singing the Samantha Song part. They were so hot at the time they could afford to give away a song like this to Samantha Sang, whoever she was. The brothers actually sing most of the song for her anyway . . . was she someone's girlfriend at the time? Must have been.

I Love the version of this song Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams did--a First-Rate Classic All The Way! It should'a been a hit!
The Ray Conniff Singers did "Emotion" as a medley with The Bee Gee's "How Deep Is Your Love".
And Destiny's Child really Sucked the Life out of it! A good song ruined by synthetic voices and machinery.
