The song was written by Rich Alves and Randy VanWarmer and produced by Keith Stegall and Carson Chamberlain. It was released on November 12, 2001, as the second and final single from Wills' fourth studio album Loving Every Minute (2001) and the fourth single from O'Neal debut studio album Shiver (2000) by Mercury Nashville, under whom both of them were signed to at the time.
It reached number 31, becoming a moderate success for both artists.
Critical reception[edit]
Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a positive review, saying, "This lovely number starts off understated and builds to a gentle emotional crescendo that is effective, not overwrought. Penned by Randy VanWarmer and Rich Alves, the song is a winner, and Wills' and O'Neal's voices blend beautifully."[2]
