Songfacts®:

  • Seal married model-TV host Heidi Klum in Mexico in May 2005, but they divorced seven years later. Many fans believe this heartbroken ballad is about the end of their relationship. "I wouldn't say that," Seal said when asked about the song rumors by Detail magazine. "I never explain songs, because I think that takes something from them. I want listeners to attach their own, personal experiences."

    He added: "I always think if people are vaguely interested in what goes on in my life, they can listen and form their own opinions."
