This is a bonus track from the iTunes Store edition of American singer-songwriter Kelly Clarkson's fifth album, Stronger. Taking to her fans on Facebook , the singer revealed that the song was inspired by Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.

The American Singer-Songwriter Eric Hutchinson penned the song and Clarkson first heard it when he was opening for her in Australia. She recalled to AOL Music: "I was in my dressing room and all of a sudden I heard this song. I was like, what is he singing! And I ran out of the dressing room — I looked like a hot mess! I was in the middle of getting my hair and make-up done. He had just surprised the audience with a new song. He came off the stage and I was like, you need to write me a song like that! And instead, he gave me that song so I could have it on my album. It's a very relatable song to me."

Clarkson previewed the song the song during Muhammad Ali's "Celebrity Fight Night" charity event in Phoenix, Arizona on March 19, 2011.
