"Go Home" is a song by
Stevie performed this song as early as the May 7, 1983, episode of Los Angeles, California, in a synthesizer jam with other contemporaries Howard Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Thomas Dolby.[4] Like "Part-Time Lover," the song was released with a special 12-inch version, which demonstrated Wonder's ability to reverse-sample.
Billboard called it a "darker follow up" to "Part-Time Lover" that is "more subtle and affecting."[5]
