Johnson said of this song: "It's been around for a little while. I had the first verse, and I was always tooling around with that. And then the second verse came along later. It was a song that was pretty much complete (before entering the studio). It was really just a song that I wrote for my wife. The love songs always start out for her, but then I try to make them pretty broad so they're for everybody by the end."
According to Jack Johnson, this is his song that's connected with the most listeners. "People have used it during their wedding day," he told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "Or people have told me they had my playlist on when their baby came into the world and things like that, which is really important. That's a beautiful moment."
The Welsh comic actor Rob Brydon sang this in the second season finale of Gavin & Stacey.
