Background
In an interview with Metro, Blue said, "It's such a special song and for me, I lyrically took it back to where 'Fast Car' is in terms of lyrics and song. But what I like about it, is it's captured the spirit and feel of early love. It's a relationship that turned rebellious and the idea is that this person, this woman goes against the wishes of all her friends and family about being in this relationship. But she does it anyway because of the power of love and the way she feels about this person. I think a lot of people have been in that situation before and they can relate to it. But we make a positive."[3]
