Could this be about Ben?

Never realised she had split up from Ben Foden! What a shame they were the most attractive couple going, hopefully he will go over to the gay side now

Such a heart-wrenching ballad. Definitely about Ben!

Clearly about Ben but on first listen it is a lovely track with lots of meaning and definitely see myself revising it more than NSMC

I think Una could easily get a slot on the likes of This Morning and Loose Women and chat shows in ireland to promote this song especially given the topic of it. It would depend on whether she was willing to discuss the topic and if she’d be able to perform it.

Is it sad of me to say I had a little cry listening to it this morning? Poor Una
 It can't have been easy to write or record this song but the fact she did it with such dignity and grace is so admirable. I really hope for her and the kids' sake that she finds love and happiness with someone else, it's nothing less than what she deserves. |

Damn this song is probably her best.
It’s a shame she never got any NMF but I’d love for her to promote this as it could go at a decent iTunes position! |

I agree that this is probably her best solo song to date.
It's funny that while the commercial timing of this release is impeccable, with her being one of the new faces of the UK's first country radio station, it also feels completely organic considering the events that inspired it. It's getting a lot of attention from celebs news websites, now it only needs to be picked up by a few decent Spotify playlists. |

Shocked this made it to #14 on Irish iTunes. Very happy as an Una stan but I'm not seeing the appeal that everyone else is. The song is very boring and forgettable to me. Maybe it'll grow.

And #3 on Pop. Wonder if this will be enough to help her squeak onto the chart.
