Speaking to Digital Spy in 2009, Wermerling said of the song and its success: "I wrote the song myself and knew it was a bit prettier than some of my other ones, but I didn't think it would pick up as much as it did. It was around for months and even I had to turn off the radio after a while. I'm pleased though as it still pays for the bacon in the morning now!"[3]
