The documentary director and producer Ian Darling told Music Feeds, "I've always loved the way Paul writes ballads and when I asked him to write a new song for Adam, I knew he would do it in his own original way… Paul wrote the song specifically with Dan Sultan in mind to perform it with him, which made it even more perfect."[1]

At the 2019 Screen Music Awards in November 2019, the song won Best Original Song Composed for the Screen.[1]

The song is included in Kelly's greatest hits album, Songs from the South: 1985–2019.

Music video

The music video, directed and produced by Ian Darling, was released on 2 May and features Kelly and Sultan performing the track, with intermittent footage and sound bites of Adam Goodes' on and off-field triumphs.[3]

Reception

Dan Condon from ABC said "From the moment those chiming guitars and Kelly's iconic voice ring out in the first few seconds, it just feels like we're in really safe hands. Of course Sultan, who is perhaps the best rock vocalist in the country right now, only adds value to this. He and Kelly sound brilliant together."[4]
