It features Hayes walking through a parade, with intercut scenes from The Other Sister with Juliette Lewis.

The song is also used in the "Shamu Rocks" seasonal nighttime show at SeaWorld, America.

In June 2015, singer Darren Hayes explained that Savage Garden had been offered to record a song for Runaway Bride.

The lyrics of the song deal with the struggles experienced by individuals suffering from mental illnesses, and more generally with the difficulty in expressing one's emotions and finding compassion in a confusing world that stultifies individuals with all kinds of rules.

According to Darren Hayes, his longing for life in the tropical climes of Australia while living in the United States provided further inspiration for the lyrics.
