The song was written by Alex Call, a former bandmate of Lewis and Sean Hopper from the band, Clover.

[1] The song admits that life isn't perfect, but tells the listener to use the power of positive dreaming to cope with the reality.

Throughout the video, Huey Lewis dances and strolls through a pathway as work is done by garbage trucks behind him.

[7] Lewis felt the video was a "creative idea" and he enjoyed that it all took place in one location and was "fairly easy" to do.

Lynn Van Matre of the Chicago Tribune said that the song was "Wry," and it seemed "destined" to be another top ten single from the band.
