Performed by Margaret Avery (Shug Avery) and the cast, the song marks a pivotal moment in the film, underscoring themes of redemption, reconciliation, and spiritual awakening. Adapted from the Alice Walker novel of the same name, the film's music, including this track, was composed by Quincy Jones, who collaborated with musicians Andraé Crouch and Tata Vega for the song.

The heartfelt lyrics and fervent delivery capture a transformative moment of healing and connection, both for the characters and the audience.
