The song is written by Andy Birr and Hendrick Röder, and produced by Bernd Wendlandt and Ingo Politz.

AllMusic editor Tom Demalon described the song as a "Celtic-tinged march", noting further that the lyrics "are long on affairs of the heart and Gross' delivery manages to give them mileage when they become trite.

"[1] Chuck Taylor from Billboard viewed it as a "pure delight" and a "full-bodied anthemic midtempo number, which at times is as reminiscent of new age vocalist Enya as it is of rockers the Cranberries."

[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "After a slow start, this Berlin trio's epic rock ballad has taken off in a big way—but it was touch and go for a while."

Hiller suggested that the fact that the band and the station cooperated on promotional activities on the record may have played a major role in its eventual success.
