He performed it initially as an audition in 2012 during season 6 of Britain's Got Talent. He said it was his own words and composition and he had chosen this song as it meant so much to him. He explained it was about his "best mate" for six years ever since he was thirteen. However he refused to name the person despite persistent questions about the name by the three member jury consisting of David Walliam, Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon.[1] He finished in fifth place during the competition.
