Songfacts®:

  • This can be considered a sequel to Knight's biggest hit, "Mr. Big Stuff." They both have similar subject matter and were both written by the same songwriters - Joe Broussard, Ralph Williams, and Carrol Washington.
  • Along with five other songs, this was recorded and released after Knight's biggest hit "Mr. Big Stuff" and her album of the same name. When the album was reissued on CD in 1991, the six songs which did not appear on it were included as bonus tracks.
  • This was Jean Knight's second single for the Stax label. Before recording for Stax, she released a couple of singles that were popular locally but not nationally. >>
