Songfacts®:

  • Louisiana born singer-songwriter Marc Broussard explained to Artist Direct his songwriting process: "Typically, it'll begin with some chords to either a chorus or a verse. Then I sit in a room with a couple friends of mine, and we start humming out melodies. We get phrasing down syllabically, and we get the timing of the words down. We try to find the words that will fit that melody and fit an idea. With a song like 'Power's In the People,' we obviously had a very strong theme that we wanted to keep in mind. For a song like 'Another Night Alone,' the theme involved being lonely and without your girl, but lyrically it didn't really matter how we said what we were trying to say. As long as we got back to the hook, we were fine."
