The sensual, downtempo ballad features Everette Harp on the saxophone. In her 2011 autobiography 'My Life, As I See It', Warwick revelead her discontent with the song and its parent album, writing: "I hated this project. I did not feel the songs or production met the standards I was accustomed to. The one song that I still feel uncomfortable even mentioning is
"Where My Lips Have Been." It was a lot not a little outside of the messages I was known to deliver lyrically, and I think it tested me to the brink."
