Songwriter Randy VanWarmer wrote the song following the death of his father. While The Oak Ridge Boys' music video depicts a lost girlfriend, tenor singer Joe Bonsall said he preferred the original intent of the song, and named the song as his favorite to sing on stage.
The music video was filmed at the old WSM Radio studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Radio and TV personality Charlie Chase (half of the duo Crook & Chase) makes a brief cameo walking through the station hallways. The disc jockey at the end of the video is played by future country music artist Lorrie Morgan.
