Upon release, Vera Blue said; “This song is about finding someone who pulls you out of a dark place. It’s about when you’ve opened your heart so many times to people and you finally find that person who is there to protect you, to look after you, even when you’ve hurt them and they’ve hurt you. You never give up on them.” [3]

A black and white music video was released on 19 November 2015 to promote the single. It was directed by Pete Foley & Laura Nagy.[4]

The single was certified gold in 2017 and platinum in 2018.
