As for his reflections on working with Birdy, Rhodes said, "Generally speaking, creating is lonely and difficult for me. I had hoped that the last 1/4 of the song on my album would be a little different from the other songs, so when I heard Birdy's beautiful and sincere voice, I felt that working with her must be the most perfect." Birdy added: "It was a natural thing to create with David, so we felt we should remember recording the song. I felt strength and vulnerability in his voice at the same time, this beautiful voice... And I'm really looking forward to this song."
