Fogelberg later described "Make Love Stay" in the liner notes to a retrospective album as a "sinuous piece written around a chapter of Tom Robbins' Still Life with Woodpecker" and as "a musical question that, unfortunately, eludes me still."[1]
"Make Love Stay" peaked at No. 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in March 1983.[1] It was Fogelberg's third song to top the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, following his earlier hits "Longer" and "Leader of the Band".[1]
