Sara explains ‘Love Song’

Sara Bareilles’ 2007 hit Love Song, which many assumed to be a response to her record label asking her to write a love song that would appeal to the masses, was instead meant to be an ode to her craft.

She told Huffington Post in an interview, “It was a love song to my craft. It was a love song to my intention, to my heart and soul. I was fighting for the essence of some truth inside of me, which to me is a beautiful love song... It wasn’t going to be the end title in a romantic comedy, at all.”
