Songfacts®:

• Singer-songwriters have an edge when it comes to romance: they can sing a song to their loved one. That what John Splithoff does here; his significant other wants to keep their relationship low-key, but he has other ideas:
  
  Just try to understand me
  Won't you come a little closer
  And let me whisper to you
  And I'll say
  You don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
  Just let me sing to you
  
  Who can resist this charm?
• John Splithoff wrote "Sing To You" soon after moving to New York City from Chicago. He told the story on the Songfacts Podcast: "I was crashing on my buddy's couch before I found my own apartment, and I would just walk around humming that bassline non-stop, and it just took me forever to write the lyrics to it. He was like, 'All right man, that's catchy but will you please do me a favor and write some lyrics and stop humming that song, because you're living in my apartment and I can't stop hearing that in my head too.' Which I think is a good sign.
  
  That was a song where things just worked out with the writing and the production. It's a good vibe of a song.
  
  The response and love that that song got was really inspiring and motivated me to keep doing this to the best of my ability. I don't want to say it is like lightning in a bottle, but that song definitely gave me a bigger audience than I had before, and it's very different from this last album, but there are definitely bits of this record that remind me of what I had when I was working on that song."
• This song was a breakthrough for Splithoff, who started recording just a few years earlier. It took off on YouTube and on various streaming services, especially Spotify, where it quickly amassed over 40 million streams.
  
  Splithoff, though, didn't release a full-length album until 2021, when he issued All In.
• Splithoff wrote and produced "Sing To You" with the Los Angeles production duo Noise Club (Chris Petrosino and Rob McCurdy).
