Songfacts®:

  • This song was written several years before it finally found its way onto a disc. Gary Barlow explained on his his official website: "We started work on this song on the Circus album. Of course it didn't fit that album at all but we played what we had to Rob (Williams) and he loved it. It was in the running to be on Progress too but again we never agreed on the final lyric until we revisited it for Progressed. I think the drums and guitars even made it from the first incarnation three years ago!"
