The song was written by his guitarist Maury Muehleisen and was included on the album as a gift to the writer. The song is noted for its sparse piano only vocal backing. This would be Croce's final album recorded during his lifetime, as Croce died in a plane crash the day before the album's title song was released, leaving wife Ingrid Croce and son Adrian J. Croce. The title track, the theme from the film The Last American Hero, was another posthumous hit for Croce, reaching number 10 in the US singles chart.

What she wrote about "I'll Have To Say 'I Love You' in a Song" is this. "One weekend, after being on the road for many months, Jim got a chance to come home to relax with his family. We settled in to enjoy our time alone together. Though Jim was expecting company the next day, avoiding confrontation he never told me that we were to be joined by an entire film crew! The next morning, 15 people from Acorn Productions descended upon our house to record a promotional film of Jim Croce at Home on the Farm.[7] "I Got a Name" in film and television{{refimprove|section|date=December 2018}}Prior to the album's release, the song "I Got a Name" (written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel) was featured as the theme song to the 1973 film The Last American Hero (also shown on television as Hard Driver). Croce was chosen by Fox and Gimbel to sing the song after hearing Croce sing for the first time on a Croce record they had been playing. Fox thought that Croce's voice was a perfect fit for both the song and the film. Croce agreed to sing the song after hearing Fox play it over the telephone. The version of the song that appears in the film was recorded exclusively for the film. The version on the album is a totally different recording. In 1976 the song was performed by Lena Horne on The Muppet Show. In 1987 a version of the song was used in a commercial for Western Air Lines. In 1997 the song appeared in a scene of the Ang Lee film The Ice Storm. In 2006 an edited version of "I Got a Name" was the theme song for the film Invincible starring Mark Wahlberg. In August 2012 a Remax commercial featured Jim Croce singing the song. In 2012 the song appeared on the soundtrack of the Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained.[8] The song plays during a scene in the 2017 film Logan during which the character of Laura wanders into a gas station. The song is thematically tied to many of the movie's elements and was also used in a trailer for the film.The song was in the Lego Ninjago Movie in 2017 as well. In 2018 it appeared in a Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company commercial featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr. Personnel
