There are two versions of the song, the album/single version and an unplugged version. The unplugged version has one different lyric line ("I'll lay a bet/that I'm okay" instead of "I can't awaken the dead/day after day" on the first verse) and the guitar solo before the bridge is one measure longer.

Chart performance

The single became another top-ten hit for Williams in the United Kingdom when it was released in November that year, peaking at number 10,[1] and it reached the top 20 in Australia, Denmark, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands.[2][3][4] In Brazil, the song saw massive popularity thanks to its inclusion in the soundtack of telenovela Mulheres Apaixonadas, in which it played as the theme to the characters Diogo (Rodrigo Santoro) and Marina (Paloma Duarte), a young married couple plagued by infidelity. The single received a special limited release in Australia and New Zealand featuring a bonus live track, special packing and a bonus fold-out poster.

Music video

The music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and features the actress Jaime King.
