Talking to Digital Spy about the song he said, "Michel and I wrote it on a writing trip to LA where we rented a house and spent time reflecting on how blessed we have been for doing what we love and with the incredible experiences we have had since things really took off musically for us, it's all about what is important - friends, family and lovers back home. It's what really counts in life. It's the first track off the album to be released as it's really what I'm about. It means a lot to me personally."[1] Talking to STV's Laura Boyd about the song he said, "I’m really proud of that song. Now people really recognise my voice and the style. I already have a big fanbase before the first single comes out, so that makes it a lot easier."[2]
