A música Waiting In Vain foi criada por Bob Marley com um tema de amor e paciência, refletindo sua própria experiência de espera pelo amor de alguém que ele deseja, mas que não retribui seus sentimentos na mesma medida. A canção retrata um lado mais vulnerável de Marley, distante de suas mensagens políticas mais conhecidas.
