He started off as a songwriter and then eventually came to the forefront by performing his own music.
This song was his debut single and launched him into the UK R&B scene's spotlight.
As you would imagine this is a well thought out and well composed song.
Cruz's vocals aren't the strongest, but the production here is slick and the lyrics work nicely with the beat.
It is clear that this is a break-up song. I don't imagine Cruz writes from personal experience, although I might be wrong, I just find that songwriters that write for other artists tend to write to make a hit, without basing the lyrics on anything personal to them.
This song covers a very generic lyrical theme, but Cruz might have saved his personal stuff for his own material.
Either way this song sits nicely as a part of Cruz's fantastic debut album, Departure, which was released in 2008.
