It was released on 22 October 1990 in the United Kingdom via Epic Records as the second overall single from his second solo studio album Listen Without Prejudice Vol.

This title is included at the very end of Michael's song, and a co-writer credit was given to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

[5] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic retrospectively named the song a "highlight" from Listen Without Prejudice Vol.

[6] Andrew Mueller from Melody Maker felt it finds "the great chap in devastatingly ineffectual form.

"[7] Nick Robinson from Music Week wrote, "Possibly one of the singles of the year, this sad plea to a lost love coasts along on a "Funky Drummer" beat and mellow organ backing and ends perfectly with a "You Can't Always Get What You Want" chant.

Not only is it a beautiful pop song but it also sees the talented song-writer adding a touch of creativity to a standard dance beat.
