Background

"I was cuddled up and cozy down with one of my little nieces and nephews just thinking about mothers and their babies. When I started writing it, it was just like, 'I want to cuddle up and cozy down with you, wrap my arms around you, sleep the whole night through'. It's really about being there with your little baby, kissing and hugging and all that. And then later, I thought, I need to make this into a more romantic thing. So I did."
