Unofficially, it entered at number 86 on the UK Singles Chart before jumping to its peak of number 32 in its first official week on the chart.

The single also peaked at number 12 on the UK Airplay Chart in October 2006.

Music video

In the music video, Pallot is playing a piano and singing in the desert, while flames continue to grow around her. During the song, the piano catches fire, surrounding Pallot in a fire circle. The video is described as "beautiful" and a great contrast to the lighter video for "Everybody's Gone to War". The video uses the single version, which is more upbeat, with strings and pop drumbeats. The album version is noticeably much slower with only the piano as accompaniment.
