About this song
Sara Bareilles wrote the song to address the pressure from her record label to produce a big single, and she wrote most of it in about thirty minutes at the keyboard after struggling through numerous co-writing attempts with professional songwriters. In her memoir Sounds Like Me, she describes the song as a way back to her own artistry. It became her commercial breakthrough and peaked at number four on Billboard's Hot 100.
What it's about
Despite often being heard as a typical love song, it is directed at her record label and the frustration she felt over their expectations.
