She played and sang at Jackson's globally televised memorial, on July 7, 2009. This is her debut single from Believe, her first album released by a major record label.
• Orianthi told iProng Magazine about this anthem concerning moving on from a bad relationship to a healthier one: "It's just a really empowering song. It's about moving on from a bad situation to a better one and being treated well and not putting up with crap."
• This song about an ungrateful boyfriend was written by Andrew Frampton and Steve Diamond. Orianthi told Billboard magazine: "So many people have gone through the experience of not feeling good enough. Hopefully, this can inspire people to get out of that situation and say, 'I'm better than that.'"
• Orianthi explained to Gibson.com how she approached recording her Believe album: "We set out to make a real guitar-based album, with guitar solos on every track. But we also wanted to put the guitar parts in carefully, so that there wasn't too much of that. I'm a real guitar-head, but I love good pop songs, too. I dig playing instrumentals, but for people who aren't guitar players, you want to turn that down a notch and not overdo that. The guitar solos have a sort of '0s now' feel. I was bringing back the '80s, in a way, with the guitar solos."
• This song found new life on TikTok in 2022 when it started trending along with the hashtag #accordingtoyou. Orianthi released a new album that year called Rock Candy.
