Nothing Sacred – A Song for Kirsty

[1] The song was recorded by Watson in order to raise money for Francis House Children's Hospice in Manchester, England, which had been open since 1991 but was in need of funds to avoid being closed.

[2] The single was recorded by Russell Watson after he met Kirsty (who was born with a rare condition where her heart was back to front) at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England.

[3] According to a spokesman for the record label Universal Classics, Watson was encouraged to release the ballad as he "fell in love with her" and was "working to help her out".

After Watson had surgery himself for a brain tumour in 2007, Kirsty was amongst his visitors, presenting him with flowers as recognition for him raising £40,000 for the appeal.

[5] The cover of the single features pictures of Kirsty with various celebrities, including Watson, David and Victoria Beckham, the British Prime Minister at the time Tony Blair and Ronan Keating.
