Bet You Didn’t Know: Fun Facts Babyface Shared About The Creation Of The Waiting To Exhale Soundtrack
My Love, Sweet Love
While most of the songs on the album deal with romantic love, “My Love, Sweet Love,” which Patti LaBelle sang, was inspired by the love Gloria, Loretta Devine’s character, had for her son Tarik. If you re-listen to the song, you’ll hear it sounds a lot like a lullaby. But this wasn’t the only song inspired by Gloria’s character arc. “Love Will Be Waiting,” by For Real, was also about her. Babyface said that with Gloria and Loretta’s spirit, it was no question that love was waiting for her. It was only a matter of time.
