The song became a huge success for Wynonna, topping the US Hot Country Songs chart for four weeks, becoming the longest running number one single by a female artist since Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" spent five weeks atop in 1977.[4] It was also the album's third number one single following "She Is His Only Need" and "I Saw the Light".[5] The song was later remixed and released in the UK in 1994, re-titled "No One Else on Earth '94"; the official music video for the song uses this remix. Because of its success, the song has been regarded as Wynonna's signature song.[4]
