Background and writing



McCoy said that he started writing the song with Sheridan and he was playing songs for MCA Canada label and they asked if he had any other songs. He played a verse and the chorus from the song thinking it wasn't that good and they wouldn't like it. Instead they liked it and McCoy lied to them and said the song was fully done. He cut the song throughout the night without the full lyrics being finished.[http://www.openroadrecordings.com/pdf/bios/Jason%20McCoy_GH_bio_jmc.pdf Jason McCoy bio]
