It charted at number ten in the UK, becoming their twenty-forth and last top ten single, meaning that they had one top ten hit in three different decades. The song was featured in the 2011 movie Dolphin Tale starring Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson and Morgan Freeman. Background The decision to release 'Safe' as the first and only single from the group's new album came from executive producer Simon Cowell. The track was written by album producer John Shanks and James Grundler, frontman of American rock group Golden State. The single was first performed live on BBC Radio 2 Weekend Wogan Show. It was composed in the traditional verse–chorus form in D major, with Filan and Feehily's vocal ranging from the chords of D4 to A5.
