This song evokes the feelings of breaking up with someone and remembering what they were like. Fergie sings about shelter and clarity - she needs some time to figure out what it is she wants and needs. Although she is mature and grown up, she still feels like a child, especially when she is alone and scared. She will miss the person that left, but her tears are not just for her, but also for him.
When this hit #1 in the US, it gave Fergie three chart-toppers from The Dutchess. The last female solo artist to do that was Christina Aguilera with her 1999 self-titled first album.
Fergie performed this at the "Concert for Diana" in 2007. She dedicated the song to the memory of Princess Diana.
