Tiesto feat Kirsty Hawkshaw

The recording appeared on Just Be in 2004 and became a single from that album. Hawkshaw is credited as both vocalist and songwriter, alongside Judie Tzuke, James Wiltshire and Tijs Verwest in the composition credits. Tiësto’s production places that collaborative writing inside the broad melodic language of his trance work.

The song is patient about introducing its emotional centre. The vocal phrases have room to settle before the instrumental pressure becomes more prominent. Hawkshaw can sustain a line without making it sound heavily theatrical; the restraint allows the words to remain audible even as the arrangement grows around them.

The single’s different versions offer a practical distinction between the composition and its dance-floor setting. An Antillas club treatment extends the material into another structure, while the principal recording preserves the recognisable sequence of vocal reflection and melodic release.

The lyric’s interest in self-knowledge gives the record a quieter foundation than its large-scale setting might suggest. It is not dependent on a complicated story. A few clearly delivered thoughts establish the mood, and the production provides the feeling of expansion. That balance makes the title track a particularly direct meeting between Tiësto’s instrumental ambitions and Hawkshaw’s ability to make a dance vocal feel personal.
