Songfacts®:

  • This heartbreaking Pop ballad was the third single off the British singer-songwriter's second album, Everything Is New.
  • The song's music video was filmed in Jordan on a Super 8 camera. Peñate blogged: "It was filmed in Jordan in the Middle East over two days. The idea for going there came from my schoolboy love for Petra, an ancient city carved into the mountains and one of the sevens wonders of the world. I travelled there with my girlfriend and two friends, armed only with three super 8 cameras and lots of film. We drove around the country passing the Dead Sea, purple mountains, desert and filming anything we felt was beautiful. It was an incredible adventure."
