After a lot of persuasion, Payne recorded the song. Singing backup on the song were session singers Pamela Vincent, Joyce Vincent Wilson, Telma Hopkins, and Payne's sister and future member of The Supremes, Scherrie Payne. The Funk Brothers provided instrumentals as the band on the track.
"Band of Gold" has been up for interpretation to a certain extent lyrically. The song depicts a recently married woman who sings about how her husband is not able to love her and leaves on their wedding night, making her no more than a "band of gold." Why the husband is unable to love her has been subject to some controversy over the years, with some attributing it to his sexuality or impotence. Certain lyrics ended up being cut in the final version.
In 2004, Rolling Stoneincluded Payne's version of "Band of Gold" on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
