The song became her second most successful single of her solo career, behind Luckett's debut single "Torn."

It eventually peaked at number 8,[3] becoming Luckett's fourth top twenty hit on that chart. It also peaked at number 78 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[4] A music video, directed by Parris Maritn, is set in Los Angeles and co-stars model Sean Newman.
