The single was co-written by Jörgen Elofsson and John Reid (of dance act Nightcrawlers) and produced by Steve Mac. It was written to be the first single for the winner of the first season of American Idol. As a result, the four remaining finalists, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini, Tamyra Gray, and Nikki McKibbin each recorded a version of the song in case they won. The song was first revealed to the public when McKibbin was removed from the competition, and Guarini and Clarkson competed in a final showdown while singing this song, along with another track, "Before Your Love". After the American public had voted, the two once again performed the song (along with "Before Your Love" again) at the final show before the results were revealed. When Clarkson was announced as the winner, she became emotional, and once again sang the song as her final performance.

"A moment like this" was written specifically for Kelly Clarksons first single, as are all the final songs sang by American Idol winners. It was not a remake. Leona Lewis was allowed to sing it, But it remains Clarksons first single.

It was written for the winner of the first American Idol, so likely the final four from the original show were the first.
