In an interview, Pete Buck once commented about this song: "We hired members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to perform the string parts to this song. They came in and did everything perfectly in one take." He also stated that Michael came up with the flute part as a melody, but couldn't come up with lyrics for the tune, so they hired Mark Bingham to transcribe Michael's humming the part into sheet music.
