"I'm Moving On" is a song by Scott Cain, winner of the 2002 Australian Popstars series. The lyrics deal with the singer's decision to end a relationship in which he feels he is being emotionally abused. Backing vocals on the track are sung by Rai Thistlethwayte of Thirsty Merc. [1]

Background

The song was written by Gregg Alexander and is a classic example of his style; the piano chord sequence is central to a steady drumbeat, with a slightly distorted electric guitar lick running in the background, much like his New Radicals hit "You Get What You Give". Cain once commented, "I heard [Gregg] on the demo and I thought, 'this is a great song and he's got a great voice'...but I wasn't sure about some of the lyrics at first. They seemed a little corny. But now I think it's a fantastic pop song that's fun and got a great feel to it. It's a song that people are going to like to listen to and at this point in my career, that's the best thing that I could ever have hoped for."

Release and promotion

"I'm Moving On" was released as a CD single on 6 May 2002. [2] The B-sides are covers of "When I Need You" by Leo Sayer and "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder, the latter of which remixed by BNA. [1] "I'm Moving On" debuted at number one in Australia and sold over 35,000 copies to receive a gold certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). [3] [4] A music video was made to promote the single. In the video, Cain rides a skateboard with a gathering of friends in an old warehouse.
