The song was featured in some commercial in 2019.

I’m not very good at hearing lyrics correctly, but one of the lyrics sounded like one of the following:

“Baby, I came just to see you”

“Baby, I just can’t see you”

Its genres are Soul/R&B and smooth jazz, could have been from the 70’s, but I’m 98% sure it was from the 60’s. Male vocalist.

The commercial that it was featured in I do not remember. I think the 2019 commercial was about some kind of laundry detergent, other laundry product, air freshener, body wash, or shampoo. I know…it’s vague.
