In 2004 the song was licenced for use in advertisements for the Ford Territory 4-wheel drive (SUV) vehicle. It has been used in two other TV advertisements, reportedly earning Lloyd payments of "hundreds of thousands of dollars".

Music video

The video clip of this song was filmed around the Southern Highlands in New South Wales. It features a schoolgirl living in the mid 70s. One day she decides to skip school and have her own freedom including writing her name in a local toilet, rowing a boat and walking around the streets in her local town. Her chance of freedom was cut short when her mum caught her in a library. At the end she waits in a bus stop.
