[edit] Music Video

The video has Williams at first performing in a Vegas-like show. He then realizes he can't fake being happy and leaves the stage. He walks to a petrol station, gets some petrol, and begins walking-through crowds, over roads, etc, dribbling gasoline (petrol) in a line the whole way. Finally, a spark is dropped at the petrol station and lights up the whole trail as Williams raps the last part, which is symbolic of past events unerringly overshadowing the present.

[edit] Chart Success

When the single was released in November 30, 1998 it reached number-four in the UK Singles Chart and it went on to sell over 200,000 copies being certified Silver by the BPI.[1] Success worldwide was limited, but it received substantial airplay to keep the album in the public eye for a few more weeks.
