It is the first official single from his self-titled album Elliott Yamin (following the retail-only promotional hit "Movin' On").

[3] The song experienced an increase in popularity after Yamin's performance on American Idol, and went on to become a hit single on multiple charts in the U.S.

The song received a positive review from Chuck Taylor of Billboard, complimenting the "rapid-fire, R. Kelly-esque verses [that] adeptly mesh[ed] with [Yamin's] muscular, emotive vocal.

"[18] The music video for the song (directed by Nick Spanos) shows Yamin in a variety of locations reminiscing about his girlfriend who has left him.

The video shows Yamin on the beach, in his bedroom, and simply walking on a sidewalk picturing his ex-girlfriend's smiling face, and pleading for her to come back, just like in the lyrics of the song.

The video features a recurring close up face shot of Yamin, in a black and white tone.

The Jason Nevins GTR Mix of the song has been included on Ultra.2008, a collection of dance club remixes.
