When Urban first heard Brad Tursi, Jennifer Wayne and Eric Paslay's demo he connected with the chorus but not the verses. "That verse is kind of somewhat of a thank you to the people who say you can't do it," Urban said, "because they give me, people like me a lot of fuel." Urban was furious at the older country artist's jaded comment, but now he's grateful, as it gave him motivation to keep pursuing his dream. Urban told him he'd been in Nashville writing songs, to which the guy condescendingly responded: "Yeah, yeah, you've got to get it out of your system, don't ya?" One day he was playing at a country music festival and an older artist asked him backstage where he'd been. Urban recalled one incident in his early 20s when he returned home to Australia after writing some songs in Nashville. It was sort of the motivation for proving them wrong was great motivation." "And I probably found that fuel for my fire even more than the people who believed in me. "I had plenty of those people in my life that didn't believe in me, thought I was wasting my time," he said. In the second verse, Keith Urban recounts how he got a lot of negative comments when he was trying to get his break into the music community. If you got that heart and the passion and a God lit fire inside You're just wasting your time chasing the tail of a dragon kind of dreamīut I'm here to tell you anything can happen in this life Has anyone ever told you, you'll never amount to anything?
