The song was written by Conway and American songwriter, Scott Cutler . When the song was first completed, Conway said she felt "embarrassed". lamenting to her former Do-Re-Mi bandmate, Dorland Bray: “It’s so happy, I can’t cope, what am I doing?”. Together they rewrote the song. “I tried to cloak it, disguise its happiness,” Conway recalls. But she finally gave in to the joy of it. “The recorded version is the original lyric without the de-happifying of it.” [2]

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1992, the song was nominated for four awards. 'Single of the Year' and 'Song of the Year' losing out to Yothu Yindi's "Treaty" and 'Breakthrough Artist - single' losing out to Baby Animals' "Early Warning, while Richard Pleasance was nominated for Producer of the Year but lost to Simon Hussey.[3]
