Content
The song is a mid-tempo ballad accompanied mainly by piano. In it, the narrator states that his lover has left him, and that the only "clue" she has given him is a letter that is "postmarked Birmingham". A review in Billboard praised Henry Paul's lead vocal, his bandmates' harmonies, and the "understated" production, while also making note of the "direct and appealingly conversational" lyrics.
