Produced by the legendary Michael Wagener, the song keeps listeners engaged throughout its five-plus-minute runtime, so much so that a radio edit never even existed. Tune in for a fun conversation about a song that continues to endure today, as evidenced by its inclusion in one of 2025’s biggest box-office hits.
