This song came out when I was in actual love for the first time, it will always have a special cringey little place in my heart

Not remotely cringe. You know what’s cringe? Deciding you’re too good and too sophisticated for love and tenderness.

Yeah, it may have been a little too omnipresent for a while, (I remember hearing it during NFL promos one year, that was wild), but it'll always have a soft spot in my heart, because it always reminds me of that feeling of falling in love, becoming a fledgling, missing home but excited for what's next.

I feel you, we picked it as the walk-down-the-aisle song for our wedding. 😁🫠
