It is the opening track on the album, and is the second single from the album as well.

Karen Swayne from Number One wrote, "This isn't one of the best tracks, but there's a warmth and humanity to it that means all but the hardest hearted will forgive him (for) crooning trite platitudes like 'problems have solutions/trust and I will show.' Some people might even believe him. And why not."[1]
