Written by Bernadette Cooper and produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
This was the lead single from their shelved "Girls in the Band" album. It was released in 1983 as a 12" single but was pulled by Dick Griffey soon after it's release so it didn't chart.
Klymaxx lost distribution by Asylum/Elektra after this single tanked and moved to MCA. The album was retitled and released as "Meeting in The Ladies Room" later the next year.
This is an interesting song because this song's style of production (albeit a bit more polished) would end up what Jimmy & Terry would be known for and also be evident on Cherrelle & Alexander O'Neal's debut albums.
It's a shame this song's single release was cancelled a mere week or so after it hit shelves. This is one of their best songs IMHO. It's like Jimmy & Terry took the sound on Vanity 6's album and ran with it.
This is definitely from the same batch of material that ended up on the "Meeting in the Ladies Room" album.
