The story behind the song

"Walking On Sunshine" bursts forth as an optimistic song, a pure piece of simple fun. It captures that exhilarating moment when you realize a budding affection is truly reciprocated, shifting from "maybe you love me" to "baby I'm sure." This feeling of certainty sparks an irrepressible joy, a sense that it's "time to feel good." Written by guitarist Kimberley Rew, it became a signature hit for Katrina and the Waves, first appearing on their 1983 album Walking on Sunshine and rerecorded for their 1985 album. It plays like the soundtrack to a sudden, delightful certainty, a bright affirmation of happiness.
