The song was the first single released off the band’s phenomenally successful album ‘Rumours’. The other singles from the album, ‘Dreams’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘You Make Loving Fun’ also did well in the rest of the world but none of them would make our charts. It would be Fleetwood Mac’s first hit to go top 10 in the US. The lyrics of the song are about the Lindsey Buckingham’s break up with Stevie Nicks (his fellow bandmate).
