The music video was directed by band member David A. Stewart.[2] The grainy video shows Lennox and Stewart separately in darkened room surrounded only by candles followed by a shot of Lennox against a tree while historical footage of military violence is shown. The video ends with an extreme close-up of Lennox as she wanders around a park before acknowledging the camera by winking, smiling and laughing. The cover art for the single is a screenshot from this scene.[3] The music features a soaring guitar solo by Stewart, reprising the melody of the opening bars.

The song became a modest hit in the UK singles chart but reached the Top 20 in Australia, Brazil and parts of Europe. In a review of Revenge, Glenn O'Brian of Spin magazine called it "a miraculous love song that is heavenly, seductive, sweeping, anodynamic, and straightforwardly, blatantly healing."[4]
