"Entertainment Weekly's Chris Willman wrote that the song can be skipped while listening to the album, while referring the track as a "stab at Xtina-style balladic solipsism, Pink's vocal span from G3 to G5"

The song was released as a single on November 20, 2006 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and on January 13, 2007 in Australia; it reached number 27 in all three countries.It was the only physical single from "I'm Not Dead" to miss the top five on the ARIA Singles Chart, on which it reached its peak in late January 2007, but it was very popular on radio.
