The X Factor finalist of the 5th Season performed this song for the first time on the live show on October 25th '08. And a day later it was released as a single, it was announced that it was supposed to benefit the Help of Heroes and The Royal British Legion charities.
Upon it's release, the tax implied on it's sale was eliminated by the Chancellor so that the entire proceeding may go straight to the given charities.
Later on the official music video was also released and is given as below, do check that out. The video features all the the finalist along with images of the soldiers spread along the video.
Though the LIVE! performance is every bit as good as it should be, but the hand movement is too weird and it sort of distracted me from the vocals of the finalist. Alexandra Burke, the winner of this season, definitely is a stand out both in the LIVE! performance and the video. And yes, both of these were shot and released before she was announced as the winner.
