Released in 1999, the song was co-produced by Carey, Stevie J, and Mike Mason. It is a cover of a song originally performed by Brenda K. Starr, and was recorded as a tribute to Starr, as Carey had been her backing singer in the late 1980s and Starr had helped jump start Carey's career by handing a demo tape to the Sony executive Tommy Mottola, who then signed Carey's first recording contract. The tragic ballad recalls Carey desperately knowing that she and her ex will never be together again, but somehow "she still believes" that some day it may happen.
