• Hutchinson had been married for a while when he wrote this song, which describes a guy whose partner is cheating on him. "That song actually is about my wife," he explained in a Songfacts interview. "It was a song that I wrote as a joke, because my wife is obsessed with the tennis player Roger Federer. And so I wrote the song as a joke for her about being in a love triangle with me and him and her. Sort of a one-sided love affair.
  
  I realized later that I had been in relationships like that before and I had ways to talk about that sort of thing, and I knew what that feeling felt like - to be invisible to somebody. But my wife loves that song and thinks it's really funny."
• This exuberant folk-pop number is the first single from Hutchinson's sophomore album, Moving Up Living Down. The record was recorded with Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Regina Spektor) in California and Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, James Morrison) in London after Hutchinson penned the songs at home in New York City.
• Hutchinson explained: "The album's called 'Moving Up Living Down' because it's about the chutes and ladders nature of life. There's no end game. It's about growing pains and I think I've grown a lot since the first album. This is the next step. I feel lucky, really lucky."
• "'Watching You Watch Him' is about being in love from afar," Hutchinson told AOL Music. "I always love songs that feel happy but have more complicated lyrics if you dig a little deeper."
  
  "When we shot the video, that's what we focused on, the happier side to a complicated feeling," he added. "It was an amazing day, in the heart of Hollywood, with these incredible dancers interpreting the music."
• This track provided the backdrop for the opening of ABC's Grey's Anatomy eighth season premiere on September 22, 2011 and was released on iTunes February 7, 2012.
