When Fleetwood Mac was prepping for their 2013 tour, the original plan was to release two singles, namely "Sad Angel" and "Miss Fantasy", both of which were written by Buckingham and recorded by the full band around 2012. However, Nicks reportedly felt underutilized and felt self-conscious about not contributing any songs of her own, so she dug up an old demo she originally co-wrote with Buckingham prior to joining the band. The EP was fleshed out with "It Takes Time", a very sparse Buckingham ballad that lacks any guitars. Instead, the song is centered around the piano and voice, with very cheesy synth strings entering in on the chorus. Musically, the song is rather clunky and arguably unfit for a Fleetwood Mac release.
I don't think the original plan was to release two singles; it was to make an album.
Stevie said something about not wanting to record because her mother died. I think her mother died in December 2011. She went on tour in summer of 2012, premiered her In Your Dreams doc in the fall. At the end of 2012, she went to Lindsey's house to record three songs.
Lindsey desired for Stevie to contribute songs to the band's recording so she chose Without You because it was found on YouTube.
It Takes Time was probably put on the EP to actually make it an EP. Mick loves It Takes Time and believes it to be Lindsey's apology to Stevie.
