History
Morgan originally recorded the song as a duet with Sammy Kershaw, but Kershaw's label "didn't want to use it". As a result, the chairman of Morgan's label recommended that she record it with Randall instead.[3]
Critical reception
Wendy Newcomer of Cash Box reviewed the single favorably, stating that it was a "charming duet" and "The combination of Morgan’s grit and Randall’s airy tenor make [sic] radio fireworks."[4]
