Songfacts®:

  • In an interview with About.com, O'Brien said: "In Nashville, where I live, people will write what they call one-on-ones. The person singing the song is singing to some other person, usually their love interest. It's usually 'we're breaking up and we couldn't work it out and I'm so sorry,' or it's 'I'm so happy to meet you and we're happy together.' There are not very many songs like that [on this record], there's two of them - the happy song and the sad one. At 53, my songwriting is not about that so much. It's more about where I am and where we are in the world, what's important. 'Where Does Love Come From?' That's one of my favorite songs, but it's not about you and me, it's not that at all. It's like, what is [love] about? The songs are just about whatever I'm interested in." >>
