Songfacts®:

  • Howard Donald sings lead on this folksy tune, which was co-written by the band with the London indie folk duo Turin Brakes. He also sings lead on "What Is Love." Donald originally told the other Take That members that he didn't want to sing any leads on The Circus, but was persuaded by them that his voice was the best fit for those two tracks. He explained to The Sun November 21, 2008: "I try to get more involved in the harmonies than anything else. I love the melodic side of our songs. Even when it comes to the lyrics, I take a back seat. I sometimes get frustrated with writing lyrics, especially as these guys find it so easy. I have to take some time out to go and play the drums until I calm down."
