He said: "The fact that people use 'I'll Be' for their weddings, and weddings don't have an expiration. Every year there are weddings. I'm not associated with the '90s, I'm associated with weddings. So it never ends. It's timeless." The song was released as the first and only single from his second album Misguided Roses.

"I'll Be" ended up being a success for McCain in the United States, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
