1987，愛爾蘭搖滾樂團U2發行了一張專輯《The Joshua Tree》，不僅專輯本身獲得多個國家排行榜的冠軍，也贏得了1988葛萊美最佳年度專輯和最佳合唱團體兩個獎項。而專輯中另發行的單曲《With or Without You》及此首《I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For》亦打進美國告示牌排行榜，登上冠軍寶座，而也是U2在美國唯二的兩首冠軍曲。

寫此曲的背景是當時該團對「美國歌曲」產生了興趣，此時專輯的聯合製作人順勢推了一把，對寫詞的主唱Bono說，何不向「福音歌曲」的方向來思考進行？從歌詞來看，這是一首尋找心靈的啟示或是為了尋找愛的歌曲。而Bono在接受滾石雜誌訪談時說，其實這首歌是 - an anthem of doubt more than faith. ( 對疑惑的頌讚多過於信仰？)。意思或許是說，每當遇到挫折時都會再產生疑惑，真的知道自己要追尋的是什麼嗎？

此曲為U2相當具代表性的歌曲之一。滾石雜誌將此曲在歷來最佳500首歌曲中列名第93。英國三人樂團The Chimes於1990翻唱，成績也不差，獲得英國排行榜第6名。以下另貼美國女歌手Cher在拉斯維加斯巡演時的版本，也相當的有看頭。
