Songfacts®:

  • This is a rare self-penned Westlife track, co-written by band member Mark Feehily. All Saints star Shaznay Lewis was also roped in to help with the writing. Kian Egan of Westlife commented to The Irish Times: "We went through a phase in the early part of our career where we did want to write our own songs and we did, but they were crap in comparison with all the other great songs that we had. If we wanted to write the album ourselves, we could, but we know we're not naturally gifted songwriters. We know our strength is in singing the songs and performing them on stage."
