Written by the band, Ray "Madman" Hedges, and Martin Brannigan, it was released as the third single from their self-titled debut album (1998) on 7 December 1998.

Claudia Connell from News of the World wrote, "Like C'est La Vie, this follow-up ballad has a distinctly Irish flavour which lets the girls display their considerable vocal talents."

[citation needed] Like the song itself, the video has a Christmas feel to it: it features a cold, icy forest and a large lake.

[citation needed] During performances, lead singer Edele Lynch occasionally wore finger cymbals with which she would clap in-time with the cymbals in the music.

[citation needed] The song has a distinctly "Irish" or "Celtic"-pop ballad feel, featuring a tin whistle intro, bridge, and riffs throughout; whistle was played on the album and live by Chris "Snake" Davis.
