It’s wild to see the response to the “male loneliness epidemic” cause when it was women who were lonely we were told to work on ourselves and the right man would come along. We were told all types of ways to make ourselves appealing to men.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wrote this song. The credits on Cheryl Lynn's Preppie album read like a 'who's who in music'. Luther, Tawatha, and Fonzi Thornton are backing vocals. Ray Parker Jr plays guitar but Steve Ferrone on the drums is 🔥.

The Prince era in music was one of the best. In the 1980s, it was nothing unusual to see Prince, Sheila E, and The Time on tour together, except for that one time when Hall and Oates toured with them. Talk about being blessed...
