This 1996 single, a less-than-convincing stab at alternative rock, found Adams struggling to adapt his stadium-sized sound to a grungier aesthetic. It was a rare commercial misstep for the artist.

• The song was released on May 7, 1996, by Badams Music Limited.
• It was featured on Adams's 1996 album "18 til I Die".
• This track charted poorly in the UK and US compared to Adams's previous singles.

Bryan Adams is a Canadian rock musician known for his earnest, anthemic rock ballads and pop-rock hits. By 1996, Adams had already achieved global superstardom, pivoting towards a more adult-oriented rock sound.
