The sentimental ballad song was structured in the key of C# minor and splendidly showcased Faouzia's upper belting range and John's sultry baritone vocals. Faouzia's vocal range in the song spans from C#3 to G#5, three octaves sung interchangeably in chest and mixed registers. The poetic lyrics expressed the grief of two lovers after parting ways and the need to come back as to what initially was. They have to walk through minefields to get to each other and as minefields were planted with explosive mines, they have to endeavour on the deadly odyssey as one tiny mistake of stepping on a mine would prompt them immediate death.
