This was the second single and title track from Jo Dee Messina's third album. It was originally recorded by Tina Arena, one of the song's writers, and the original was a #2 hit in Australia in 1997, also charting in the UK. Jo Dee's version was released in 2000, and reached #2 Country, #17 Adult Contemporary, and just missing the top 40 of the Hot 100 (42). This was one of my favorite songs growing up, and I still really like it and its parent album.

If I remember correctly this was the follow-up to her massive No.1 "That's the Way." I started listening to her because Shania Twain said many times in interviews and award shows that Jo Dee was her favourite Country singer. This is a lovely remake of Tina's AUS hit.

This was a really nice, unexpected cover. I was a fan of Tina Arena's original.

One of my favorite Jo Dee Messina songs. Her vocal on this is just so smooth and powerful. She's a really underrated country star, especially for her vocal prowess. Girl could SANG.  |

I've liked Jo Dee since "Heads Carolina...". That being said, this is my least favourite of her big hits. It has grown on me over time, though.
