Stevie Nicks recorded this song for the Naomi Watts-starring movie The Book of Henry. Colin Trevorrow, known for 2012's Safety Not Guaranteed, directed the film.
The song was written for the film by Ryan Miller, the lead singer of the Boston rock band Guster. He gave a "bullet-point version" of how Nicks ended up singing the track on the band's Facebook page.

1) My buddy Colin Trevorrow asked me to write a song for Naomi Watts to sing in his movie The Book of Henry (which she does, twice!)

2) I recorded a version of the song for the end credits with Thomas Bartlett

3) Colin asks who I think should sing it - 'Stevie Nicks, der.'

4) 24 hours later: 'Stevie is in.'"
The track also includes a 100-piece orchestra on the outro that was recorded at London's Abbey Road studios.
