About the song

It is a pop ballad, that was record live in London using the powerful raw voice Natalie honed during her musical theatre years. She says, "It's all about that moment of falling in love, that moment of perfection," she says. "I remember going into the studio and singing it from it the beginning to end over and over again. I haven't sung like that since my musical theatre days. That's me there, no bells and whistles, no sound effects; it was me in the purest form just having a good sing."
