The song was McLachlan's first top 10 hit in Canada, peaking at number 9.[1] It was also her second song to chart in the US, where it reached number 77.[2] The single's B-side is a cover of "Blue" by Joni Mitchell, which was also included as a bonus track on some pressings of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.

The song's lyrics concern abuse and violence towards women and girls[3] and that theme is also reflected in the song's music video which was directed by Kharen Hill.[3][4]
