There were just two Top 40 hits to come out of the 2013 series of The X Factor. Winner Sam Bailey reached number one with her only Top 40 hit "Skyscraper" and then 3rd placed Luke Friend reached number 40 with this, his only Top 40 hit.
Although most X Factor contestants have no longevity in their chart career they do often get off to a solid start before fading away. This wasn't to be the case with Luke Friend. The fact the 2014 series had also been and gone by the time this was released may have also been a factor.
One of the songwriters on this record is Roy Stride from Scouting For Girls. Their Top 40 career was finished by the point, but Roy Stride would be back with further Top 40 hits as a songwriter.
