The story behind the song

This song explores the poignant realization that the person you've fallen for is already deeply in love with someone else. It captures the bittersweet ache of unrequited affection, a feeling of being fated to love what you cannot have, leaving you with nothing to do but wait. Released in 1972, this duet with Donny Hathaway showcases Roberta Flack's emotive style, which helped define 1970s popular music with its blend of R&B, jazz, folk, and pop. It's a song about the quiet heartbreak of loving from afar.
