When originally conceived by Townsend, who was released from a rehab facility for <a href="/wiki/Alcoholism" title="Alcoholism">alcoholism</a>, it was written with a religious theme. Gaye confidante Kenneth Stover changed some of the words around as a political song and Gaye recorded the version as it was written, but Townsend protested that the song was not a politically conscious song but a song dedicated to love and sex.<sup id="cite_ref-edm7_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-edm7-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Gaye and Townsend then collaborated on new lyrics and, using the original backing tracks as recorded, Gaye transformed the song into an emotional centerpiece.

It begins with three great wah-wah notes that herald the arrival of a vintage Fifties melody. But while the song centers around classically simple chord changes, the arrangement centers around a slightly eccentric rhythm pattern that deepens the song's power while covering it with a contemporary veneer. Above all, it has Marvin Gaye's best singing at its center, fine background voices on the side, and a long, moody fade-out that challenges you not to play the cut again.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p><div class="templatequotecite">— <cite>Jon Landau</cite></div></blockquote> <p>The song was <a href="/wiki/Reprise" title="Reprise">reprised</a> on the fourth track of <i><a href="/wiki/Let%27s_Get_It_On" title="Let's Get It On">Let's Get It On</a></i> as "<a href="/wiki/Keep_Gettin%27_It_On" class="mw-redirect" title="Keep Gettin' It On">Keep Gettin' It On</a>", which was a sequel and continuation of the original.
