==Background==
Speaking in May 2011 to urban writer Pete Lewis of ''[[Blues & Soul]]'', Jordan described the lyrical background to the song: "It's really dealing with the situation where - if you've been hurt, or someone's treated you wrong or cheated on you in a relationship - you're basically saying 'Be quiet! I don't wanna hear it! I'm gonna move ON!'... So what I particularly liked about the song is that it's a very powerful statement for anybody who's been in that kind of situation."<ref>[http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/676/alexis_jordan_quietly_confident/ Alexis Jordan interview by Pete Lewis, 'Blues & Soul' May 2011]</ref>
