Songfacts®:

  • This downbeat MOR ballad about enjoying things even though you know they won't last was released as the third single from Trip The Light Fantastic. Ellis-Bextor told Digital Spy: "It was important to me with this single and this album to push boundaries a little bit and part of that is explore a few musical directions that are a bit more unexpected, so it's been nice to release a ballad."

    She added: "If you gonna do a ballad it has got to have a real soul to it and it's a very sensitive song. It's about appreciating the good times, while they here. It's a bit melancholy."
  • Bextor said on a Q&A on her website that this is her favourite lyric of all the ones that she's written. She explained: "I am the person in that song sometimes - I struggle to be truly relaxed and happy when life is good - I feel like something has to go wrong. I have to remind myself to enjoy the moment before it goes."
