Songfacts®:

  • Max wrote this romantic song about his feelings for his wife Emily whom he married in April 2016.

    Kiss you each morning
    With strawberry skies
    'Cause I get so lost in
    Your blueberry eyes


    Maxwell "Max" Schneider is best known for his 2016 sultry single "Lights Down Low," which he played when he proposed to Emily Cannon.
  • Max is good friends with Suga from BTS, and after taking him to a Kobe Bryant tribute basketball game, the Korean agreed to jump on this song. Max recalled to Apple Music: "At that game, we had such a great time, we talked about music, and I said, 'I'd love you to be on my album, too.' I sent him all the songs, every song on the record, and he ended up really loving 'Blueberry Eyes.' It's so perfect."
  • Suga spits his verse in Korean. According to Max, his lyrics are "vows, that's what the song is about."
  • Max previously worked with Suga when he contributed to the Korean pop star's 2020 D-2 mixtape track, "Burn It," released under the name of Agust D.
  • The fruity remix features an Auto-Tuned verse by rapper Lil Mosey and Olivia O'Brien joining Max on the chorus. "Having Lil Mosey, the mastermind behind 'Blueberry Faygo,' add his story to 'Blueberry Eyes' felt too iconic not to create the ultimate blueberry hit song," Max said in a statement. "The cherry on top is getting to add the legendary voice of my friend Olivia O'Brien."
