This is one of four original compositions on Michael Bublé's eighth studio album, To Be Loved. It was released as the first single from the set on February 25, 2013.
Bublé penned the song with his longtime co-writer and musical director Alan Chang and his producer Bob Rock, who was also responsible for his Call Me Irresponsible, Crazy Love and Christmas albums.
Bublé told BBC News that alcohol helped him find inspiration for this tune. "I have always written these songs about love, or loss or longing," he explained. "I just sat down at the piano and I started to work on this tune and the lyrics just came right out. I was drunk, that's the truth. I have never written anything sober in my life.
"I thought this is a great concept," he added. "I am going to write this song about a guy whose girlfriend thinks she's the greatest and dumps him. And he realizes that once she is gone, his life gets so much better."
