Songfacts®:

  • Southampton-born singer-songwriter Lisbee Stainton became the first unsigned performer to play London's 20,000-capacity O2 arena when she launched her career in 2008. Prior to the release of her debut album in January 2010, Stainton notched up a Top 30 hit in south-east Asia.
  • This song is the title track from her debut album. Stainton told The Daily Mirror January 8, 2010: "I generally write my songs on my bed because it's the biggest stage in my room. I wrote the title song thinking about the future. When I get my teeth stuck into something I'm pretty single-minded and ambitious."
