Bet You Didn’t Know: Fun Facts Babyface Shared About The Creation Of The Waiting To Exhale Soundtrack
Why Does It Hurt So Bad
To listen to this song, you might not realize that it was written well before the “Waiting To Exhale” era. Babyface said he first presented this song to Whitney and Clive Davis around the late eighties, early nineties when Whitney was releasing her “I’m Your Baby Tonight” single. But when she heard it, she told Babyface she didn’t get it. Thankfully, Clive Davis told Babyface to hold on to the song. He said she’d eventually come around. And she did. After she recorded, “Shoop Shoop,” Whitney asked to sing this song and that it be included on the soundtrack.
