Songfacts®:

This was released as 2010's official Children In Need single. The boys said in a statement that it's a big honor: "It's a special single because this is the first single that we've written and it's all for a good cause."
The boys told BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles that along with this song, they're trying to help some of the most needy children in the country. They said: "We've been getting involved in a lot of charity work this side of the year. We've just launched the JLS Foundation, which is our own charity. This is another thing that we're doing to give back and help and support those who need it most."
The JLS quartet wrote the song with Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Toby Gad, whose other credits include Beyoncé's "If I Were a Boy" and Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry." The other songwriter was prolific UK hitmaker Wayne Hector who co-penned many of Westlife's #1s plus the boys' own breakthrough single "Beat Again."
