It was written by Hubert Kemmler, Markus Löhr, Klaus Hirschburger and Sandra Cretu, and produced by Michael Cretu. This is the only song along with "When the Rain Doesn't Come" (from the 1992 album Close to Seven) that was written or co-written by Sandra herself, prior to the 2007 album The Art of Love. It was released as the third single from Into a Secret Land in January 1989.[1] For the single release, the song was remixed and labelled as the "'89 Remix".[2] In 1999, a remix of the song was released on Sandra's compilation My Favourites. The track was remixed again for her 2006 compilation Reflections.
