The music video was filmed the day after the funeral of LaBelle's sister Jacqueline "Jackie" Padgett who died of lung cancer at age 43. She was the third of LaBelle's sisters to die, all three of Patti's sisters died before age 44. As such, the context of the song changed dramatically, as a mourning LaBelle, dressed in black, sings the song in a church, with candles and mourning lilies, inter-cut with shots of her in tears.
