"The lyrics say everything I've never been able to."
"I want people to remember the good times when they hear this."
"It's the song that got us through the dance lessons before the big day."
"This was our first dance, and it still feels like that night."
"It's tied to a place I haven't been back to in years, but never forgot."
"This is the song that turns any room into a party."
"It's the ultimate feel-good song, and I mean that."
"I've played this more than any other song, and that says everything."
"This one's mine. Always has been."
"It reminds me of car journeys with my family, windows down."

"Simple. Beautiful. True."
"My partner and I danced to this on our wedding day."
"I've never once skipped this song. Not once."
