In 1964, at the age of 11, Khan formed her first musical group, the Crystalettes. While still in high school, she joined the Afro-Arts Theater, a group which toured with Motown great Mary Wells; a few years later, she adopted the African name Chaka Khan while working on the Black Panthers' breakfast program. After quitting high school in 1969, Khan joined the group Lyfe, soon exiting to join another dance band, the Babysitters — neither was on the fast track to success, but her fortunes changed when she teamed with ex-American Breed member Kevin Murphy and Andre Fisher to form Rufus.
Debuting in 1973 with a self-titled effort on the ABC label, Rufus was among the preeminent funk groups of the decade. Distinguished by Khan's dynamic vocals, the group earned half a dozen gold or platinum albums.
While still a member of the group in 1978, Khan embarked on a successful solo career. Her signature hits, both with Rufus and solo, include "Tell Me Something Good", "Sweet Thing", "Ain't Nobody", "I'm Every Woman", "I Feel for You" and "Through the Fire".
It's You
Chaka Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew one day
Another true love would come my way
Only time will tell
If it's right, it just can't fail
And there you were
And my quest for love is over
Now my only lover...is you
No one else will do
It's true
I'm the only one for you
Love ain't so bad
If you have an understanding
You know it's everlasting
You let it show with the test of time
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Without a doubt
Now my quest for love is over
Now my only lover
It's you....i'll never love another
Nobody can take your place
Without a doubt
My quest for love is over
My only lover
It's you
These lyrics highlight the discovery of true love, the end of a search for that special someone, and the beginning of a new, deep understanding.

She declares that "It's you, no one else will do," expressing her love for one person and one person alone. The lyrics hint that love takes time and patience to develop, and it is only with the passage of time that the true worth of a connection can be assessed.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of understanding and patience in a relationship. Chaka Khan sings about the eternal nature of love and how, over time, it will endure if it is genuine. She makes it clear to her lover that "Love ain't so bad, if you have an understanding," suggesting that open communication and mutual empathy are key components in a healthy, long-lasting relationship. The chorus of the song, "Now my quest for love is over, now my only lover, it's you," beautifully sums up the essence of the song, as Khan's vocals reach a soulful and satisfying pitch.
