She’s Not Gonna Write You
a Love Song…
…but she will write you a hit song, if you are Epic Records. Sara Bareilles’ hit “Love Song” is, to paraphrase her lyrics, not what I thought it was. The song is not about a relationship, an ex-boyfriend or anything even close to that. It’s about her record label, Epic Records, who wanted her to…write them a love song. A marketable smash hit.
Her response?

Didn’t know that. Makes sense though – kinda makes you like the song even more
