The song was originally slated to be LeAnn's debut single and was sent as a press kit to radio with the music video, along with ten second clips of "Blue", "Hurt Me" and "My Baby". When "Blue" exploded at radio, it replaced this song as her first single.

She filmed the video for this song before "Blue"'s video.
