This song was written, produced, and performed by British singer-songwriter George Michael. It served as the fifth single from his third studio album, Older, released in 1996. Virgin Records released it in the United Kingdom while DreamWorks Records handled the United States release. The track was re-recorded specifically for the single version, which is why it carries the "'97" designation in its title.
