Background

This song was one which Loveless originally recorded in the summer of 1992 for MCA Records, and in fact performed on a September 1992 CBS-TV special "Women in Country". However, the condition of her vocal cords had deteriorated to the point that medicine was ineffective, and surgery was necessary in order for her to continue her career. On October 21, she had the surgery. After a nine-week recovery period, she and her husband/producer Emory Gordy, Jr. returned to the recording studio to resume what recording sessions they had finished in the previous autumn. Due to her surgery, the tone of her voice had changed, and all of the material she had recorded during that time period had to be re-recorded. The first song Loveless re-recorded was "You Will."

"You Will" charted for 23 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching #6 during the week of February 19, 1994.[2]
