About this song
Written by the songwriting duo Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, the song was the first single from Chaka Khan's debut album Chaka, produced by Arif Mardin, and reached #21. Khan initially found it presumptuous to sing, feeling she had to grow into it, but later became comfortable performing it. Whitney Houston later covered the song for the soundtrack of The Bodyguard in 1992, with Cissy Houston, who sang backup on the original, and Khan and Simpson appearing in its music video.
What it's about
