Ahead of the song's release, George Sheppard said "Luckily we already had a song written which was perfect for Eurovision. It has the classic massive, anthemic Sheppard sound, celebrating love and the fire that burns within you when you're in love. We are also planning an epic performance using technology and colour and light to tell the story in an interesting, unique way."[2]

Critical reception

Peter Tuscan from The Music Network said "the track is dripping with Sheppard's textbook gang vocals, four-on-the-floor grooves and overall pop goodness."[3]
