Songfacts®:

  • Amy MacDonald explained to the Liverpool Daily Post that this song is about people rather than music. She said: "The whole message is just be yourself. It's about two people who've been pretending to be something they're not in order to fit in with a certain group, and because of that, these amazing people who would have got on so well and made a brilliant couple pass each other by. Both of them have been feeling that they've had to fit in elsewhere, but they've missed out as a result."
