The story behind the song

This song found its inspiration in a tender moment: Neil Finn's son, Liam, uttered phrases that became lyrics while he was feverish. This origin imbues the track with a dreamlike, almost surreal quality, reflected in the single's cover art featuring a figure with a pineapple for a head. The song itself has a distinctive waltz-like swing due to its unusual 3/4 time signature, setting it apart from much contemporary music. It's a piece that carries the intimate, imaginative world of a child's fevered mind into a gentle, flowing musical landscape.
