  Written by Andy Hill and Nicola Martin and produced by Hill, this was the group's only single to feature member Mike Nolan on lead vocals, it was also the last to be co-written by Martin, who founded the group.

  The song centres around the narrator who looks back on younger days and recalls how innocent he was then, while the promotional video for the song saw the group in a World War II setting.
