Background

Gary LeVox said of the song, "We got the song the night before we were going in to track the record. Mark (Bright) had called us and said, 'You've got to hear this!' When we heard it, our jaws dropped. It floored us. We were looking for a good power ballad. We had a lot that we had on hold. Because we all love ballads so much. It's got to be one that's real special."^[1]
