Songfacts®:

  • Ed Kowalczyk is the former lead singer of the band Live. Since the band disbanded in 2009 he has pursued a solo career, and this is a track from his debut album, Alive.
  • For this track, Kowalczyk worked with American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry, who became a friend after the pair performed together on the 2006 "Idol" finale. Kowalczyk told Billboard magazine he had "kind of wrapped up" the song until he joined Daughtry on stage in Ventura, California, then invited him back to his house for dinner. "We started playing each other our ideas," Kowalczyk recalled, "and I played a little of that song and he was like, 'Try this here, try this there...' It turned into this impromptu collaboration that I don't think either of us expected, but it was really fun."
