This song was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King after they discovered that a singer called Little Eva was regularly beaten by her boyfriend. They asked why she took it and she replied that his attacks showed that he loved her. It's an amazing song, but so very haunting.
@Prisoner.I.Was Carole has also said she wishes she had not put the music to it and her and Gerry misunderstood that this was violence against women, it was not discussed as it is today.
