• Godin's Air partner Jean-Benoît Dunckel explained the poem, "was about ghosts in a castle. We built the song from the title."
• Most of Love 2 is a paean to the opposite sex and the woman in question on this track is according to the duo, "an angel."
• In an interview with Mojo magazine November 2009, Dunckel was asked when he was last embarrassed. He replied that it was during an interview in Germany when he was talking about this track. The Air man added: "I was explaining how the song was speaking about the grace of a woman, in her ankles and her legs, the way she walks, in her weight, and as I was saying that I looked up and I was talking to a really, really, super-fat girl."
