After three upbeat songs, this Berry Gordy–co-written ballad was the Jackson 5’s first serious track, and it turned out to be its most successful. Michael and Jermaine share the lead vocals, but it’s Michael who has the memorable lines, opening with, “You and I must make a pact” — he sounds almost too young to know what the word pact might mean — and the ad-libbed ender, “Just look over your shoulders, honey,” a reference to the Four Tops’ “Reach Out, I’ll Be There.”
