This dance has been written with lots of love for Gaynor and her husband, “Maat”.
While Maat was in Vietnam and she was pregnant with their son, this was the song that reminded her of him. It has continued to be her favourite song.

Gaynor said this dance is “for all the boys who have fought for their country - went away boys and came home shattered.”
