I WROTE THIS SONG: The process leading up to this song’s fruition is a bit hazy in my memory. However, I remember toying with the idea of “I’m Nobody” with our co-writer (Trey Bruce). After about 45 minutes of exploration on the title I was just about ready to scrap it because I couldn’t see how we were going to make a song that wasn’t depressing and wimpy. But someone said something about nobody loving a girl. This concept brought the song into a much more surprising and interesting direction.
