合寫者 Leon Russell (去年底過世) 和前篇的 Glen Campbell 一樣是 The Wrecking Crew 成員; Carpenters 版本的伴奏也包括 Wrecking Crew 的樂手.
KCurrie
說
Carpenters 的翻唱源自成名前的 Bette Midler 在 Tonight Show 的表演; Midler後來也有正式錄音 (1972, 首作 The Divine Miss M).

說
Richard Carpenters 把 "And I can hardly wait / to sleep with you again" 改成了 "to be with you again", 沖淡了追星族投懷送抱的性暗示, 讓 Karen Carpenter 的歌聲集中在無計消除的孤寂感上.
