Background and inspiration

In a video interview about the song Medina stated that "[...] It's about meeting someone, he is unfaithful with his girlfriend, and I'm waiting for him to break-up with her, and he keeps promising me that in 10 o'clock or in this English version it's 2 am, he's gonna break up with her, so it's basically me waiting for him to do it, so him and I can be together forever".

Music video

The music video for the single was filmed in early August. The video premiered on 5 September 2012 on her official myvideo.de channel and a day later on the label's YouTube channel.
