It was written by singer David Coverdale and guitarist Adrian Vandenberg. The power ballad follows an alternately slow/fast-paced rhythm, and the lyrics tell about longing for the woman after a break-up. "Now You're Gone" was released as the third and final single from 'Slip of the Tongue', remixed by Chris Lord-Alge. While it was a Top 40 chart success in the UK, it barely made it onto Billboard Hot 100 in the US. Music videoA music video was shot in 1990 in the afternoon before and during a live show in Philadelphia to promote the single. The video was directed by Wayne Isham and features the band playing the song on stage, with footage of the fans interspersed with shots from the concert. In the booklet of the 20th anniversary edition of 'Slip of the Tongue', David Coverdale commented: '"I remember shooting the video with Wayne Isham in front of a sold out crowd at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, unfortunately it received minimal airplay as MTV was changing its format... still, I think it's one of the best videos we've done..."'
