The song reached number one for seven consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. It was written by Andy and his older brothers, Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb and Albhy Galuten (who also produced this song) arranged the song with Barry Gibb. While Andy Gibb would have three more Top 10 hits in the U.S., this would be his final chart-topping hit in the United States. The song became a platinum record.

The single had three different B-sides. The US version’s “Let It Be Me” and the European version’s “Too Many Looks In Your Eyes” were both from Gibb’s previous album Flowing Rivers, while the Italian release featured “Fool for a Night” from the Shadow Dancing album.

In July that year, Gibb performed “Shadow Dancing” at the Jai-Alai Fronton Studios in Miami, when Barry, Robin and Maurice unexpectedly joined him on stage, and sang this song with him. It was the first time that all four brothers performed together in concert.
