It’s a tongue-in-cheek song about radically accepting who your partner is, as opposed to how you’d like them to be, born out of my husband’s utter disdain for ‘Hallmark’ holidays such as Valentine’s Day! It took me years to stop being a drama queen every February 14th, and see the bigger picture, that it’s how someone treats you 364 days of the year that counts, not just one!
—Judith Owen
Acclaimed singer, songwriter and pianist Judith Owen releases her new single “That’s Why I Love My Baby”, the first single from her forthcoming new album, due out this Spring.
Following the international success of Come On And Get It — hailed by The Times as “one of the most joyous releases of the year” and streamed millions of times worldwide — Owen returns with new music that is as sharp, warm and emotionally intelligent as ever.
Written with Owen’s signature humour and emotional intelligence, the track is a tongue-in-cheek reflection on radically accepting your partner exactly as they are — not as you might wish them to be. Inspired by her husband’s well-known disdain for “Hallmark holidays” such as Valentine’s Day, the song playfully dismantles romantic clichés while landing on a deeper truth about what really matters in a relationship.
