Fricke had actually sung on several other No. 1 songs in the past, often as an uncredited background vocalist (for example, "Thinking of a Rendezvous" by Johnny Duncan). In addition, she had dueted with Charlie Rich on their 1978 No. 1 song, "On My Knees." However, this was Fricke's first No. 1 song to feature her solo talents.
