The Academy of Country Music crowned the song as 1993’s Song of the Year and was also part of John Michael Montgomery’s triple Platinum album Life’s a Dance. Irish boyband Boyzone released their pop rendition of the song five years later and those who are not familiar with country music might think that this is the original version.
