The track, originally demoed by Adams, was sent to Noll for inclusion on his debut album. Adams later asked Noll to support him on his Australian tour in 2004 and the pair became friends. It was rumoured that Noll was to collaborate with Adams on a track for his second album "Lift"; however, it is unknown if the pair worked together.[citation needed]

The video, directed by Australian director Anthony Rose, was the third music video from Shannon Noll. The video was created as a mini-movie, with Noll playing the part of a motor-mechanic summoned to fix an ailing black car by an obnoxious and pushy man and his seemingly long-suffering girlfriend. The car used in the video is a 1973 XB Ford Falcon Coupe. The video was named best music video of 2004 in a readers poll conducted by Australia's TV Week magazine, and was placed at number 66 in a countdown of the Top 100 music videos of all time on the television show "Video Hits".
