The story behind the song

"Hey Soul Sister" captures the feeling of imagining a vibrant, free-spirited scene, specifically inspired by what lead singer Pat Monahan pictured Burning Man to be like, with attractive women dancing. He wrote the lyrics and melodies for this song, which was released on the album Save Me, San Francisco, after collaborating with Norwegian producers. The distinctive sound of the track came together when a ukulele was introduced, which Monahan felt made his words "dance." The song plays like a bright, catchy folk-rock tune, built on memorable riffs and melodies.
