ABOUT THE SONG:
In Europe, this was released
in 2005 and became a hit when Coca-Cola used it
as the theme song for an advertising campaign
on the continent. It topped the Italian and German
charts and was #2 in England for 3 weeks. In America,
Powter's album was released in 2006, and this
song became a hit when the TV show American Idol
started using it as a theme for the "goodbye
video" for the departing contestants who
were voted off the show on the fifth season.
The video features actress Samaire Armstrong,
who plays Anna on the popular American teen TV
show The O.C. Powter refused to star in the video
with Armstrong because of their difference in
age: he was 35 and she was 25. While a younger
actor stars opposite Armstrong, Powter appears
playing the piano while wearing his distinctive
beanie.
