""When you write songs, you try to touch something in yourself that makes you go like, Oh, that feels like something. And I felt something, but it was like a three-and-a-half-minute song with strings, though, and nobody cared. It was not the era for that. It was a weird time.""
""If 'Drops of Jupiter' was a young adult, the song could legally rent a car. Did you ever imagine it having this kind of longevity? No, not at all.""
"Drops of Jupiter" was written by Pat Monahan in 2001 amid concerns from the record label about the album's potential. Initially doubting its success due to its length and style, Monahan was surprised by the song's eventual popularity. It has since become Train's signature song, reflecting early 2000s culture. The song's celestial themes and orchestration have resonated with audiences, leading to its recognition as a modern classic and inspiring various covers by artists like Taylor Swift and Luke Combs.
