: Written by Bill Withers and Skip Scarborough, the song was released on December 21, 1977 .

: On the first few choruses, Withers intentionally double-tracked the long notes slightly out of tune to represent the feeling of being "apart" from his love. As the song progresses, they become perfectly in tune to illustrate the relief of being together. : Written by Bill Withers and Skip Scarborough,

: The track is legendary for Withers holding the word "day" for approximately 18 seconds toward the end. This remains one of the longest sustained notes in American pop music history. : Written by Bill Withers and Skip Scarborough,
