Rushen'sPERFORMANCE received a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Rushen had aNUMBER of songs on the R&B and Dance charts, but this was her only U.S. Top 40 pop hit and ranked #86 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 1980s. The bass line is particularly recognizable, and wasPERFORMED on the record by session bass player Freddie Washington. The classic tenor saxophone solo wasPLAYED by Los Angeles session player and recording artist, Gerald Albright. Albright also appears in the music video of the song. The lyrics are from the point of view of one professing her longing for a rekindling with an ex-lover. She ruminates on the romance's end, andSENDS the lover forget-me-nots, aFLOWER that since medieval times has been given and worn to symbolize enduring love despite absence or separation.
