Artist and writer proceeds from the sale of the single were donated to the American Red Cross. Stone Phillips of The Today Show mentioned during an interview with Dolly at the time, that she was writing the song when Hurricane Andrew tore into south Florida.

The music video was shot in black and white and featured all of the artists that sang on the track with the notable missing Pam Tillis, whom was unavailable for the video shoot.
