Before this song or the album Innocent Eyes had even commenced, when Delta Goodrem was 15, she got signed a record deal with Sony Music and began work on an album of pop-dance songs including the unsuccessful debut single "I Don't Care".

The album and proposed second single "A Year Ago Today" were pushed aside as a result, allowing Goodrem and Sony to re-evaluate her future musical direction.

In 2002, Goodrem starred on Australian TV series Neighbours as a shy school girl and aspiring singer Nina Tucker.

The two originally met in 2001 and Goodrem states "Audius and I got on really well and someone at the record company suggested we write together.

The song fuses instrumentations including piano, guitars (acoustic and electric) and drums.

Matthew Chisling from Allmusic said, along with "Longer" and "Innocent Eyes"; "[...] are pop gems in purest form.

[4] Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian said the song along with the album's lyrical content "[...] are a bit la-la-floating-on-clouds, but that doesn't dilute their charm.

The song spent a total of twenty-two weeks in the charts and was certified triple-platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), selling over 220,114 copies in that country.

It stayed in the charts for twenty-four weeks and was certified gold by Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), selling over 7,500 copies.
