In Australia, the original recording of the song was ranked number 45 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.
The song became a massive hit on rock radio during the summer of 2006 in the United States, peaking at number 7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 10 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
In 2007, it won the award for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards.[2]
Singer Andrew Stockdale said the song was inspired both by his girlfriend, and the overall impression of living in Sydney, "this beautiful city in the harbor."[3]
