It was released in February 2007 as the third single from their debut album, ''How to Save a Life'', following the widespread success of their previous single "How to Save a Life". According to lead singer and pianist Isaac Slade, the song was written about his then-girlfriend and future wife, Anna, when she was living in Australia.<ref>{{cite web|last=Moss|first=Corey|url=http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1547078/20061204/fray.jhtml?headlines=true|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001011719/http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1547078/20061204/fray.jhtml?headlines=true|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 1, 2007|title=The Fray Hit It Big, With Some Help From Dr. McDreamy|publisher=VH1|date=December 6, 2006|accessdate=2007-03-09}}</ref> The song has appeared on the TV show ''Intervention'' for its third season and has been featured in episodes of ''Cold Case'', ''Ghost Whisperer'', ''The Hills'', ''One Tree Hill'', ''Journeyman'', ''Moonlight'', ''Rescue Me'', ''Bones'' and the unaired pilot of ''Women's Murder Club''. It was also featured in the 2008 film ''Jumper''.
==Chart performance== The song peaked at #59 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming the band's first single to miss the Top 40. The song also missed the Top 40 on the Billboard's Pop 100, although it performed marginally better on the chart than on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #49.
