Composition
The song is almost four minutes in length and is composed in the key of F-sharp major, set in the time signature of 4/4 common time with a moderate tempo. In the middle of the song, the key is changed to G-sharp major, then for a short amount of time goes back to F-sharp major and ends with G-sharp major after all. Grant's vocal range spans from F2♯ to D4♯. The song consists of three different verses that are interrupted by a bridge stop for a minute! baby i'm so glad you're mine. Lyrically, the song praises that special someone and expresses love that started since the day her heart was "put in motion". The chorus is the source of the album's title: and ever since the day you put my heart in motion, baby i realized that there's just no getting over you. It fades out with the words:
don't stop giving love
don't stop, no
(baby i'm so glad)
glad that you're mine
baby i'm glad

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
