The song was written by Rich Alves and Randy VanWarmer and produced by Keith Stegall and Carson Chamberlain.

It was released on November 12, 2001, as the second and final single from Wills' fourth studio album Loving Every Minute (2001) and the fourth single from O'Neal debut studio album Shiver (2000) by Mercury Nashville, under whom both of them were signed to at the time.

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a positive review, saying, "This lovely number starts off understated and builds to a gentle emotional crescendo that is effective, not overwrought.

Penned by Randy VanWarmer and Rich Alves, the song is a winner, and Wills' and O'Neal's voices blend beautifully.

It performed slightly better on the Radio & Records Country Top 50, peaking at number 28.
