John Legend expresses the difficulty ending a tumultuous relationship on this song. The beginning of the song suggests that the relationship was borne of infidelity and Legend’s continued infidelity makes it difficult for either person to be completely committed to the other. Despite this, both people relent and are willing to continue their romantic engagement.

Infidelity is a reoccurring theme in many of John Legend’s songs. He follows this song with Another Again, a continuation of the situation on Again. On Get Lifted, songs like She Don’t Have to Know, Number One, and I Can Change, speak directly to the unfaithfulness of the protagonist.

Legend performed this song acapella on episode two, season five of “Def Poetry”:
