Originally recorded as a soundtrack song for the Eddie Murphy picture Boomerang, the song (themed about a breakup where the man really doesn't want the woman to go) topped the charts from August 15- November 7, 1992, setting a record for most weeks at #1 with 13, besting Elvis Presley's 11 week hold with "Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel".

However, two weeks after "End of the Road" left the top spot, being displaced by The Heights' "How Do You Talk to An Angel", Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" reached number one, and would stay there for 14 weeks, one week longer than "End of the Road" had lasted. Their next single ("I'll Make Love to You"), however, would tie Houston's record.
