 Caldwell confirmed, "We did indeed write the song for Chicago and their lead vocalist Peter Cetera.We had his voice in mind, but Paul and I were unaware that he was leaving Chicago at that time, and when we heard the news our hopes were dashed.However, a short time later, I got a call at home from Cetera himself who stumbled upon our demo cassette tape of the song in producer/arranger David Foster's office.
