The story behind the song

"My Girl" emerged from songwriter Mike Barson's observations, inspired by a co-worker who frequently spoke about his own girlfriend. Barson then channeled these conversations into a song about his personal experiences with his girlfriend at the time. This track first appeared in the band's set when they were performing as The Invaders, initially titled "New Song." It's a snapshot of everyday romance, capturing the small details and feelings of being in a relationship.
