Dust on My Shoes was the only single to be released from the album Can't Go Back by Tanita Tikaram.
Background[]
"Dust On My Shoes" was the last song to be recorded for the album. Primarily written by Tikaram's longtime guitarist , Tikaram was hesitant at first to record it, "because it's kind of a freedom song, and I wasn't sure whether I can write that kind of a song. But it was pretty much written. I didn't know if it was a convincing song. But going back to it, it absolutely made sense on this album. And it probably carried a lot of the spirits of going to record in Los Angeles."[1]
The song was chosen as the first single from the album in May 2012, Tikaram's first music release since 2005. Released primarily as a digital download, the promo CD single featured a shorter radio edit. The single, however, failed to chart. The album was released a few months later, in September 2012.
Music video[]
The music video, directed by Natacha Horn, was filmed in New York City.
