This 1952 composition by Eddie Jefferson builds upon a jazz saxophonist's improvised performance from 1949, which itself was based on a 1935 standard. The song takes the form of a back-and-forth exchange between two singers expressing romantic feelings toward one another.

The song presents a dialogue between a man and woman declaring their mutual affection for each other.
