This was the lead single from Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini's second album Sunny Side Up. Paolo Nutini wrote this. The singer-songwriter also co-produced the track, along with Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ryan Adams).
Nutini said of this heartfelt love song to the Daily Mail May 8, 2009: "I sometimes worry that my songs are too personal. I wasn't sure whether to put this on the album."
The Sunny Side Up album was produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ryan Adams). It reached #1 on the UK album chart and as a result, Nutini became the first ever Scottish male soloist to top that particular tally. (Before anybody mentions Rod Stewart who achieved seven chart-topping albums - he was born in London and is half English by parentage!)
This song was written about Nutini's childhood sweetheart and current girlfriend Teri Brogan. Their relationship looked to have finished when the Scottish singer and his band moved south for a couple of years, but they later reconciled again. Nutini also penned Growing Up Beside You about his relationship with Brogan.
Sunny Side Up won the Best Album Award at the 2010 Ivor Novello Awards. Presenting the award to Nutini, Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon said: "you know a great record when it captures your attention for the duration of the record without wanting to skip through songs – and this record certainly gets your attention brilliantly!"
