In writing this love-song Daniel Bedingfield deliberately aimed for the feel of a classic pop ballad; he certainly found that wistful mode of expression, though the soaring vocal lines suggest that he did not want to be held in by the genre even as he was recreating it.

The arrangement shapes the narrative through a variety of textures, and makes a feature of handing the melody round between the different parts.
