Edwin McCain, escribe esta canción en la década de los 90´s, luego de una decepción amorosa. Pero es con la serie de televisión Dawson's Creek en los años 1998 y 2003, que esta canción toma fuerza en la radio estadounidense, puesto que se convierte en uno de los referentes de esta serie.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
