David McAlmont is best known for teaming up with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler to form McAlmont and Butler in the mid-90s. They had Top 40 hits with "Yes" and "You Do" before quickly breaking up.
This was the solo Top 40 debut for David McAlmont. He wrote it with Gary Clark from the band Danny Wilson and Mark Hewerdine who had previously had a Top 40 hit as writer of "Patience of Angels" by Eddi Reader.
It had a harder edge to it than the McAlmont & Butler hits and that's perhaps where it went wrong. That said, he had one more "solo" Top 40 hit (featuring David Arnold) with "Diamonds Are Forever" which was more mellow and charted just one place higher at 39.
He did however enjoy further Top 40 success in the early 21st Century when he reunited with Bernard Butler.
