  • This song was written by the album's producer Steve Mac, who co-penned many of Westlife's #1s, his frequent collaborator Wayne Hector and Andy Hill, who is best known for his work with Bucks Fizz. It was originally performed on episode 3 of Britannia High, an ITV musical drama series that ran in the fall of 2008.
