Songfacts®:

  • This song was written by the English singer-songwriter Martin Briley, who is best known for his 1983 American Top 40 hit "The Salt In My Tears." Turner explained in track-by-track comments: "Martin Briley and I have been friends a long time. He's written for dozens of artists including Celine Dion, Michael Bolton, Kenny Loggins, Pat Benatar, Gregg Allman. I have many of his demos from over the years and wanted to do one of his songs! He originally wrote this song for Taylor Hicks who won last year's American Idol. People who do not live in the USA should know that American Idol is one of the Top 10 TV shows in America."

    "Taylor went a different route, musically, so this track then became available to me," Turner continued. "It's familiar sounding but unique in it s own content. It's also one that we can do a nice job with acoustically. It's about someone who wasn't planning on falling in love, but just could not stop! Sound familiar?" >>
