About this song: Love Song
Love Song is the first single released from Sara Bareilles's 2007 album Little Voice. It was written in response to her record label Epic requesting that she write a marketable love song. The song was also featured in a Rhapsody commercial along with "Bottle It Up", and in commercials for the TV show The Return of Jezebel James and the movies Made of Honor and Suburban Girl.Many radio stations cut out the bridge of the song, shortening the track to 3:54 instead of the album length of 4:21.
