The lyrics celebrate how happy the singer is in the company of the beloved, but suffering equally whenever the two separate. Describing it by analogy as a musical "change from major to minor", Porter begins with an A♭ major chord and ends with an A♭ minor chord, matching the mood of the music to the words.[2]

The Benny Goodman Quintet (vocal by Peggy Mann) enjoyed a hit record with the song in 1945.[3]
