The song was written for his younger sister. There was a message in the lyrics for her. Ironik said " With all these people dying, if anything happens to me, there's a message in it for her." The track was produced by Louis Gibzen and samples lyrics of a song called "Everybody's Free". It reached a peak position of #5 in the UK Singles Chart and #8 on the Irish singles chart. It is featured as one of the tracks on the UK compilation album Now! 70.
