This is about lead singer Kevin Cronin's response after he found out his wife was cheating on him. In the song he says he'll keep on loving her no matter what. Cronin stated this on VH1's Top 40 Love Songs show.
REO Speedwagon was one of the first Rock bands to score big with power ballads in the '80s. What they didn't cash in on was the appeal of music videos, which cost them when MTV came on the scene in 1981. Their videos simply showed the band performing the songs, and they weren't photogenic enough to be compelling visually.

Unconditional love, sincerity, and committment...these are the themes of this song. The reason why people still like this song is because so few poets, song writers, and playwrights been able to deliver on these human topics with the same intensity as Crorin. Superb writing not to mention the piano instrumentals!

I'm 47 and I have loved the sound of this song since it was first released. Lately, I made an attempt to understand the verses better so I could sing along with the whole song when I hear it. I understood just a bit to realize that this was a song about true devoted love and that's what it's all about. It's the story of my life. I'm glad for songfacts.com as a resource for gaining more and better knowlege about a song that means something to us. John Martin

Gary Richrath was the guitarist - I thought he was pretty good.

Even though this is not hard rock, the video made me go nuts over the guitar solo and sent me down a road that eventually ended with hardcore punk and Death Metal! I'd never seen anyone scratch the pick down the strings, and I went totally ballistic. I was 12.
