Written by Brian Harvey, Tony Mortimer, Matt Rowe and Richard Stannard, it was released on 2 May 1994 as the lead single from the band's second album, Steam (1994). It became their fourth top-10 hit in the United Kingdom, charting at number three on the UK Singles Chart.

Critical reception[]

Music & Media commented, "East 17 has got the Walthamstow blues. The teen stars with street credibility can be "softies" too, suffering from homesickness while touring abroad as we learn from this ballad."[2] Alan Jones from Music Week gave it four out of five. He wrote, "A polished, shuffling vehicle for the usual East 17 posturing and trademark touches, with a slow rap to the fore and a subtle melody, Just what fans ordered, in fact."[3]

Music video[]

The music video for the song shows the band performing underground and also in a forest.
