  • The song was produced by the prolific hitmaker Steve Mac, who was also responsible for hits by JLS ("The Club Is Alive") and Cobra Starship ("You Make Me Feel…"). He also helmed the first single from On Your Radar, "Notorious."
  • This is one of several ballads on On Your Radar. Speaking to Digital Spy, The Saturdays said of the LP: "The ballads this time are very strong. There are quite a few tearjerkers on this one. Our last album (Headlines) only had one ballad. This time, we have a few more and they are very singalong."
