The song is about following on your dreams and making an impact on the world.

The lead singer of The Script, Danny O'Donoghue, and Will.i.am first met while they were both judges for The Voice UK. O'Donoghue told: "I played Will a few demos backstage early on in The Voice. We got to Hall Of Fame and he immediately asked if he could have it for his new album, as it was exactly what he was looking for. I wasn’t having it, it was our lead single but I asked if he’d be on it. He agreed and we booked in time to record it. The problem is, he’s either late or completely flakes, so it took four attempts to get him to record his part. Eventually we put it together in his hotel room in 15 minutes. It’s a classic duet, I do one line and he responds."He added: "we went to the recording studio and an hour and a half later we had the song in its entirety. I thought he was going to produce it but he just gave it to me and Mark (Sheehan) and said 'you guys go and produce it'." On the lyrics, O'Donoghue commented: "We wanted to inspire people to stop trying to be famous for the sake of it.
