Background John Martin co-wrote and produced with Michel Zitron. Talking to Digital Spy about the song, he said, "Michel and I wrote it on a writing trip to LA where we rented a house and spent time reflecting on how blessed we have been for doing what we love and with the incredible experiences we have had since things really took off musically for us, it's all about what is important – friends, family and lovers back home. It's what really counts in life. It's the first track off the album to be released as it's really what I'm about. It means a lot to me personally."Swedish House Mafia singer John Martin unveils new single, video - Music News - Digital Spy Talking to STV's Laura Boyd about the song he said, "I’m really proud of that song.
