The episode picks up on an unresolved storyline from the fifth season episode, "Elevator Love Letter".

Kim Raver (Dr. Teddy Altman) reprised her role as a guest-star, in addition to Jesse Williams (Dr. Jackson Avery) and Mitch Pileggi (Larry Jennings). The title of the episode is a reference to the song "I Choose You" by American musician Sara Bareilles. "I Choose You" was well-received by television critics. Upon its initial airing, the episode was viewed by 8.12 million Americans, ranked #2 in its time-slot, and garnered a 2.2/8 Nielsen rating/share in the 18–49 demographic.
