"It was really prissy to exist back in each other'due south visitor and working on music together. No affair who yous are, there'south e'er something unique that happens when you are able to interact with someone in the same space," says George. "Since the beginning of the bird and the bee, Greg and I take always had a very easy and fun time collaborating. I remember it's what keeps u.s.a. playing music together. We have a kind of unspoken understanding and such a creative ease. Beingness back together inspired this song nearly our beginning musical collaboration."

I remember back on those times with such fondness."
