Hey There Delilah

The song "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's was written by frontman Tom Higgenson after meeting Delilah DiCrescenzo, a runner, through a mutual friend in 2002. Higgenson wrote the song after a year, and brought it to DiCrescenzo, who found it difficult to deal with the song's popularity and the pressure to live up to the ideal presented in the lyrics. The song was released in 2006 and became a hit in 2007, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and selling over 4 million digital copies in the US alone.learn more on wikipedia
