Jan and I got together to write a few years back. He came in with a melody that I thought was pretty cool. It was one of those songs where we didn't start off with a hook but followed the story of the verses. Pretty In Blue came to me as something that felt like it fit (way before "Blue Ain't Your Color" was ever released, by the way!). We brought it to Chip Martin to help polish it up and give it that boost up we felt it needed to be a finished song.
