A música foi originalmente composta no piano como uma faixa blues na estilo de Fats Domino, mas o produtor Chris Thomas sugeriu um arranjo baseado em sintetizadores.
Andrew Farriss escreveu a música e gravou uma demo em estilo blues, entregando-a a Michael Hutchence, que então escreveu a letra como uma declaração pessoal de amor.
O single alcançou a faixa 7 na parada Billboard Hot 100 depois de ser lançado em junho de 1988, sendo o quarto single do sexto álbum de estúdio da banda, Kick.
Kirk Pengilly contribui com um solo de saxofone catártico perto do final da canção, que é uma balada sensual camadas de sintetizadores e pausas dramáticas antes das quebras instrumentais.
Durante o funeral de Michael Hutchence, quando seu caixão foi carregado da Catedral de St. Andrews pelos membros restantes do INXS e seu irmão mais novo Rhett, a música tocava ao fundo.
Muitos fãs originais do INXS consideram a música o hinos de Michael Hutchence em retrospectiva.
