The song is about how much someone misses somebody when that person is gone or away; in this case, the man is far away in
London and also mentions other cities (Los Angeles, New York) that he has to spend time in away from the woman he loves. In this
ballad, lead singer Brad Arnold duets with
Bob Seger, who happened to be recording at the same studio as 3 Doors Down in 2004, working on his album
Face the Promise. Asked by the band's manager if he would like to sing on the song, Seger agreed, which had happened only on very rare occasions throughout his musical career. Previously, he had only collaborated four times with other singers and stated that he had hated it every single time. According to bass player Todd Harrell, Seger felt different about this song because it seemed like something he could have written himself. The song is reminiscent of one of Seger's own classic compositions, 1973's "
Turn the Page". ==Music video==
