It is only their second single in 39 releases to miss the UK Top 20 (the other being Was It Worth It? from 1991, which peaked at #24).The ballad was widely used throughout the year, mainly in an edited version used in a montage for England's elimination from the 2006 FIFA World Cup on the BBC Match of the Day programme in early July 2006.
