By the spring of 1973, Marvin Gaye was suffering from writer's block. After releasing his most successful album up to that point, 1971's What's Going On and the popular soundtrack to the film, Trouble Man in 1972, Gaye had struggled to come up with material. He recorded some more politically conscious material, including the released single "You're the Man" and the then unreleased "The World is Rated X" and "Where Are We Going" - the latter track later covered and released by Donald Byrd. Gaye had planned a release of an album titled You're the Man but was later shelved for unknown reasons. After a discussion with old friend and former singer Ed Townsend of "For Your Love" fame, Gaye agreed to record the rough draft of a song Townsend had worked on: "Let's Get It On". Originally the song was a religious ode to life and was later re-written by Gaye confidant Kenneth Stover. Upon hearing Gaye's demo of the political version of the song, Townsend protested that the song was about "making sweet love". Gaye and Townsend then rewrote the lyrics with the arrangements and musical accompaniment of the demo intact. The song gave Gaye inspiration to revive old recordings of songs he had yet to finish, including the doo-wop-leaning "Come Get to This", "Distant Lover" and "Just to Keep You Satisfied". Gaye and Townsend worked on four songs together, including the ballad "If I Should Die Tonight" while Gaye composed the majority of the remaining four songs reexamining older songs. "...Satisfied" was originally recorded by least three Motown groups: The Miracles, The Originals and the Monitors and had been originally recorded as a song dedicated to long-standing love. By the time Gaye recorded his own version, he had re-written the lyrics and arrangement of the song to talk about the demise of his real marriage to Anna Gordy Gaye, who was, ironically, the original song's co-writer.
