Co-written by a guy that later became Springsteen's first manager: Mike Appel.
It really is incredible, how; upon closer evaluation, your-average/then-"disposable"-Bubblegum-Partridge Family album (actually) sounded better recorded and mixed than any pre-Abbey Road Beatles' album did(!). Of course, the famed Western Recorders studio had *something* to do with it...but: it shows they weren't just slapping David Cassidy's name on any 'ol recording to try to sell and, that there was a serious attempt at crafting quality Pop songwriting production at the time.
The female "ghost harmony" here is provided by session singer Sally Stevens. Shirley Jones, though, can be unmistakably heard in the mixes of other tracks from UP TO DATE (such as: "I'll Meet You Halfway", "You Are Always On My Mind", "Umbrella Man", "That'll Be the Day", and "She'd Rather Have the Rain").
