1. 개요
다이애나 로스 앤 더 슈프림즈의 싱글이며 이들의 15집 앨범 Love Child의 두번째 싱글로 1968년 9월 30일에 발매되었다.2. 상세
어두운 분위기의 멜로디 위로 펼쳐지는 파격적인 가사로 공전의 히트를 거둔 곡이다.슬랩 주법을 이용해 펑키함을 극대화한 베이스 기타, 비브라폰의 고음 연주, 드라마틱한 스트링 섹션과 백그라운드 싱어들이 만들어내는 하모니가 복잡하게 얽혀 곡의 분위기를 조성하고, 그 위로 다이애나 로스의 진정성 있는 보컬이 올라감으로서 곡이 완성된다.
1994년에 싱글로 발매된 자넷 잭슨의 노래 You Want This에 샘플링되었다.
