The song was first released in 1979, by Ian Lloyd (formerly of The Stories), on his solo album Goose Bumps.

For this concert, the song was re-arranged as an acoustic ballad with string orchestrations added by Michael Kamen, who had previously worked on some of Adams' biggest hits, and played by students of the Juilliard School.

Also featured is additional percussion, added by Martyn Philips using Pro Tools.

The single uses the same picture and colour scheme as the original release of "I'm Ready", only using a different font.

The music video was directed by Nigel Dick, although footage of the original performance was also shown on MTV, prior to the single being released.
