This is the first single from 2009 American Idol winner Kris Allen's debut major label album. The song was premiered on the Elvis Duran Show from New York radio station Z100. When it was played, it was the first time that Allen had ever heard one of his songs on the radio.
The song was originally recorded by Irish pop rockers, The Script and featured on the Japanese edition of their self-titled debut album. Allen told MTV News that the tune had been earmarked as a single once he began working on his post-Idol album back in May. He explained: "[The song] was actually one that we had listened to really early on, and we kind of just fell in love with it. Everyone did."
The positive message of this "life wisdom" song was a factor in Allen's decision to cover it.
