Background

According to a statement about the single, the song is described as "raw and intimate exploration of what it means to move on – or at least try to. Honest and understated, the song captures the struggle to let go." [2]

Critical reception

Kate Jeffrie of Clash states, "The song meditates on the struggles of moving on – hyper personal and always nuanced, as the best of Capaldi is – but bleeds into the universal, a heartbreak track that could fill a stadium with those that know the feeling." [3] Music Talkers said, "There’s a rare kind of honesty in the way Lewis writes — he doesn’t just sing about heartbreak, he translates it. You don’t just hear his pain, you recognize your own somewhere inside it." [4]
