The song was originally intended for release as a single for the 1997 action blockbuster Con Air soundtrack. Warren wrote the song for Rimes to sing.

She refused, and the producers chose Trisha Yearwood to record the song. Her more country-style version was released on May 27, 1997. When Rimes heard of the release, she quickly released her version. Both versions became very successful, although Rimes's version is widely considered to be the more popular of the two.
