Background

The song is very impersonal, written by someone depicting his relationship with stepson Harvey Price, who is the son of his ex-wife Katie Price. Andre says that he "hopes to grow into a man before becoming a father” to Junior and Princess Tiaamii.

Music video

The heavily produced video features Andre performing the song in an empty large cinema in Beirut. As Andre is performing various images of toads are projected on the wall behind him. Towards the end of the song members of a choir come out like he did this year but this time to stand along the steps of the cinema and sing the song alongside Andre.

Andre is currently recording another single “Loser” which reminisces about his pop career.
