• Kenny Loggins wrote this song about his first dog, Moose, back in the late 1960s. It was to be included on the first Loggins & Messina album but was deemed too "childlike." Years later Loggins wrote a new verse about pet loss and how our pets might meet us in the afterlife. All Join In is a children's album. >>

• Loggins created the album at the request of Walt Disney Records president David Agnew, who played the singer's kid-themed Pooh Corner albums for his children. "He really got what I was trying to do, which was to make music that the parents would love as much as the children," Loggins told the Intelligencer Journal. "So he called me and said 'I really want you to do it again, but this time I want it to be up-tempo.'"
  
  He explained how he went about making an album that would be enjoyable for both parents and kids, saying, "By picking really cool material that I loved, and doing it in a way that the production values were more adult, but still maintaining a light-hearted quality that the kids would love, it works."
• In 2013, Loggins released a children's book, also titled Moose N' Me, based on this song.
