I seem to remember this song causing a bit of controversy for the subject matter back in the day?

I'm surprise that the Pepsi-Cola company never consider suing her for using their trademark for her stage name!

Yeah. I remember people trying to say that she was promoting being a single parent in this song. To me, I never listened to a song that way.

I dated a girl that used to LOVE this song. She used to cry every time it came on.

I guess it's just a matter of perspective. I remember some people thinking it was controversial, then I have a girlfriend that loves this song as well. She heard it recently while her son was playing and told me while looking at him, "that baby is my heartbeat"...
