Label: It was produced and released under Starrvybz Entertainment.

Project: The track is the lead song on the Every Time We Touch Riddim, a multi-artist compilation featuring different vocalists over the same instrumental. 

Musical Style & Composition

Genre: The song is a mid-tempo reggae/lovers rock track.

Vocal Delivery: Stewart adapts the high-energy chorus of the original into a smoother, balladeer format, focusing on his “tinga flair” for emotional delivery.

Lyrics: The song retains the iconic themes of deep emotional connection and the feeling of “flying” or “reaching for the sky” when in the presence of a loved one. 

Origin & Evolution

Heritage: While many modern listeners associate the song with the 2005 Eurodance hit by Cascada, the lyrics and melody originally come from the 1992 pop-rock song by Maggie Reilly.

Stewart’s Version: By covering this track late in his career, Stewart continued his lifelong tradition of taking popular international hits and making them resonate with the Jamaican and global reggae audience.
