“We just had a little bit of a writers’ retreat. It wasn’t a forced writers’ retreat. It was like we sleep, we eat, and maybe we write a song,” Wilson explained. “We were sitting on her little balcony of one of her cabins. We were writing this song and they were in the exact same place they were when they wrote ‘Bluebird.’ And, as we were writing the song, three bluebirds flew up. And, when they were writing ‘Bluebird’ three bluebirds flew up, too,” Wilson shared. “I believe in signs like that. I think it’s a really special song.”
