The day we wrote it -- I mean, some days are more special than others. We knew it was gonna be a big song, and we knew it was gonna be a single. It's just the idea that you travel the world with a girl that you love and you kind of miss it, because your eyes are on her.
It's just got so much melody. It's got such a great piano part right there at the beginning that everything kinda fell together that day. It's got an unbelievable melody to it, and then the storyline -- everyday wants that.
Every guy wants to look at a girl like that. Every girl wants her guy looking at her like that. So I think it just connects to people in terms of what they want in life.
It's probably my biggest song as an artist to date.
