Songfacts®:

  • Faith penned this slice of synth pop after recalling the fun that she had while singing with a busker she met in London's Leicester Square when she was just 14. "I asked him if he'd be there the next day and he said he would," she said. "When I went back he was gone and I've never forgotten it."
  • Faith wrote the song with English pop songwriter Chris Braide, who has writing credits on a number UK and US hits, including Clay Aiken's "This Is The Night," Will Young's "Anything is Possible" and Leon Jackson's "Don't Call This Love."
