[1][2] It was recorded at Rhinoceros Studios in Sydney, Australia for his debut solo album Beats from a Single Drum.

[3] Anderson has stated that the song "is about a man coming to a point in his life when he says, 'I know who I am, and I don't mind revealing myself and being vulnerable.

[6] The song was famously used in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, during the wedding of the characters Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue).

[3][10] Anderson has stated that Minogue wanted to use the song because she understood its meaning and thought it was lyrically "beautiful".

[3] The director of the episode, Rod Hardy, disliked the song after his producer, Reg Watson, finalised its use.

[11] Wendy Tuohy from The Age branded the song as "another el soppo effort from the now not-so-aggressive-but-still-relatively-tough Mr Anderson."

[12] Jon O'Brien writing for Metro said that Anderson's "ridiculously bombastic power ballad Suddenly proved to be the perfect fit" for the Neighbours wedding episode.

[14] Ben Fenion from HuffPost positive review and stated that "the song that has those that know it lip-synching and air-grabbing for their lives.

"[15] Kevin Wuench from the Tampa Bay Times described "Suddenly" as a "uncharacteristic power ballad" for Anderson, adding it was a "soap opera hit".

[25] Clark's version was used in Neighbours episode 5998 broadcast on 25 August 2010 (13 October 2010 in the UK), as his character, Ringo Brown, married Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie).
