[edit] Song History

This was the third single of the album Cuts Both Ways and was one of many successful ballads performed by Gloria Estefan. For her "Evolution World Tour," she performed a medley of her ballads with Jon Secada. This medley included Cuts Both Ways, I See Your Smile, Words Get in the Way, and this song. This medley can be found on the "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)" single.

The single was released with a b-side song: "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", that was included on the European Version, later of the "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" album.

As a duet for her special television concert "All The Way Concert," Celine Dion performed this song, while Gloria sang Celine's song "Because You Loved Me".
