Goodrem's original solo recording was released on her fourth studio album, 'Child of the Universe', the following year.

Goodrem wrote the song about her recent split from fianc Brian McFadden. Lyrics include "Im scared of tomorrow and the emptiness to come, but Ive changed for the better since Ive known your love."
Bolton got a call from his label and was introduced to Goodrem. Goodrem played the song to Bolton who requested this song be included on his near complete album to which Goodrem agreed.
Promotion
Bolton and Goodrem performed the song live on Dancing With The Stars (US) on May 10 and again on NBC's Today Show on June 20.
Reception
Brendon Veevers of 'Renowned for Sound' said the song is both sentimental and vulnerable and is 'harmony heaven' as the pair pass vocals from one another with ease.
Simon Gage of the 'Daily Express' simply called the song beautiful.
