Collins wrote this for the Disney movie Tarzan, and it earned him an Oscar for Best Original Song. It was Collins' first win in the category - he was previously nominated for "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" for the movie Against All Odds and for "Two Hearts" from the movie Buster.
The song is about two people with a very close bond who will be physically separated, but always together in spirit. It's a song of comfort that can relate to many close relationships, but in the movie is deals with mother and son - the song is used in a scene where a young Tarzan is soothed by his adoptive gorilla mother, voiced by Glenn Close.
According to Lily Collins, who was born in 1989, her dad wrote this song for her. "It was written as a lullaby to me when I was younger," she told NBC in 2016. "We grew up watching Disney shows and movies together so that was his way of kind of being able to do it for his kids. It was so special."
