Songfacts®:

  • Bugg wrote this love ballad with two bars that last one beat too long before the chorus. It gave the session musicians who played on it a lot of trouble to work out. The singer-songwriter is mainly self-taught; his only music training was a music technology course at college that he dropped out from at the age of 16. According to an interview with the NME, Bugg didn't realize when he wrote this song that it would be difficult for his backing musicians to play, as he's never learnt how to read music.
