"Far Away" comes from All the Right Reasons, Nickelback's fifth album, released in 2005, and the single rolled out in Australia first, in January 2006. Chad Kroeger wrote the words and shares the music credit with Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and Daniel Adair, and on tour in Australia he called it the band's "only real love song", the one about actually being in love rather than just circling the subject.
It climbed to number eight in the US, which made All the Right Reasons the only Nickelback album with more than one top-10 hit. The UK gave it a second life in 2008, after "Rockstar" took off and "Photograph" went back out, and the download-only reissue matched its original peak of 40.
