The ballad was a smash hit in Brazil and was part of the soundtrack of the Brazilian hit soap opera Laços de Família.[1]

Reception

The Dooyoo review was extremely positive, and it said: "This is a beautiful song - beautifully sung and arranged. Originally recorded by Wynonna Judd in the album Revelations, the country feel has been stripped from the song and in Fabian's hands it becomes a stunning ballad. Produced by Walter Afanasieff, he reigns in Fabian's vocals until close to the end, but still finishes the song softly. 8/10".[2]

Chart success

The song became the most played song in Brazil during the 2000 year and became a classic in the country, due to the inclusion of the song on the soundtrack of the soap opera Laços de Família.[3] The song became the theme from Carolina Dieckmann's character "Camila", who had cancer. While shaving her head, the song was played in the background and this became one of the most memorable scenes from a soap opera in the country.[4] It was the 7th most played song in Brazil in the 2000s.

Music video

The music video was taken from a live performance of the song.[5]
