This was the 2nd single from Fly Again. The lyrics are spiritual in nature and can be interpreted as being about her battle with Leukemia. This was produced by Orange Factory. It went on to peak at #1 on the Billboard Club Play chart in 2004.
This had remixes by Gabriel & Dresden, Junior Vasquez (with Joe Carrano), and Mike Cruz.
This release marked the final time Junior Vasquez did remixes for the Tommy Boy label because they edited down his remix. The full mix he did for this was over 11 minutes in length but the version on the single was a little under 7 minutes. Once the mix is handed in the label can edit it down if they feel it is necessary but they only did it to his remixes. A few years earlier they cut down his remix of Catapila's "Void (I Need You)" from 12 minutes to only 8 minutes. And they altered the structure of it to give it a more mixable intro and took out one entire breakdown. These were the most notorious instances.
When Gabriel & Dresden did their mix, someone stole a CDr of it from a gig they had played it and it got illegally leaked and shared online but the label still released it. The version on the single is approximately 1 minute shorter than the original mix they did.

This is one of my favorites of her later work. I love the Gabriel & Dresden mix. The dark, moody minor key production of it totally changes it. I do like the Cypher UK and Junior mixes but not as much.
