Songfacts®:

  • Rickie Lee Jones told The Sun the story behind this song: "Written in just an hour or so, after a sad phone call, I wrote it like a lifeline, to lift up a sad person and remind them that they could leave all that behind and show us their super best thing. It's supposed to be a song a friend is singing to a friend."
  • Jimmy Choos are handmade women's shoes made by Malaysian fashion designer Jimmy Choo. Jones said: "The Jimmy Choo thing is a metaphor. I would not own such shoes."
