Though it reached the top ten of most other major music markets, becoming her second-biggest worldwide hit, this lead single from Belinda's third album stalled at #11 in the U.S. Perhaps when she sings "I don't know when I'll see you again/Darling leave a light on for me," it's directed at the upper echelon of the Billboard Hot 100—heights she knew she'd never reach again.
It's a honky-tonk racket in this track about a girl who wants to become a musician despite her family's expectations. I would expect a song with a title like that to be a little harder rocking, but voters liked it, making it the highest-ranking of Tell Me Why's five singles.
Mixing the original track with some beautifully relaxed vocals from Lauryn, this posthumous collaboration served as the single for Chant Down Babylon, a 1999 Bob Marley & the Wailers remix album. Despite receiving no 10's in this rate, it was buoyed by only five scores below 8.
