As "We've Only Just Begun" had smashed and hit its peak, Karen and Richard were having difficulty selecting a follow-up single - which was eagerly awaited by the label and radio stations across the country. Following a pressing touring and recording schedule, it was suggested after a show in Toronto that the duo relax and watch a movie; said film happened to be "Lovers and Other Strangers". Richard's ear caught the song "For All We Know" and he immediately requested a demo be ready for his return to the states.

| - As "We've Only Just Begun" had smashed and hit its peak, Karen and Richard were having difficulty selecting a follow-up single - which was eagerly awaited by the label and radio stations across the country. Following a pressing touring and recording schedule, it was suggested after a show in Toronto that the duo relax and watch a movie; said film happened to be "Lovers and Other Strangers". Richard's ear caught the song "For All We Know" and he immediately requested a demo be ready for his return to the states. The song's ensuing success allowed the song to earn an Academy Award for Best Original Song of 1971. However, since the Carpenters had not appeared in a film, they were barred from performing at the awards; at their request, the song was performed by friend Petula Clark.
