This was the 4th and final single from Fly Again. This was a breakbeat inflected song with inspirational lyrics.
It was also the last release Kristine had on Tommy Boy before she released her music on her own label. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart in early 2006, breaking her streak of 9 consecutive #1's of 9 singles ("Feel What You Want", "One More Try", "Land Of The Living", "Stronger", "Lovin' You", "Some Lovin'", "Fly Again", "Save My Soul", and "The Wonder Of It All"). Some had speculated that she left Tommy Boy after this didn't go to #1.
It had remixes by Ian Nieman, Jack D. Elliot & Mac Quayle, Tony Moran & Warren Rigg, and Wayne G.

This was a stunning song with Christian Pop undertones. The key change after the bridge is truly emotional. Only the original, Ian Nieman, and Jack/Mac mixes kept it. I was a fan of the Jack/Mac mix. I liked the vibe of the Wayne G mix but I wished the key change was there.
I was genuinely devastated when this ended up peaking at #2, especially behind those awful remixes of Beyonce's "Check On It".
