Before I Let You Go

A theme that runs through Californian singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat's third studio album, All Of You, is the ups and downs of relationships. The singer's experience of falling in love with her guitarist and musical director Justin Young is the inspiration behind the subject matter. She told PopEater this song is about, "When I was upset and frustrated and wanting more honesty and more openness."

PopEater asked Caillat what Young thinks about their relationship being written in song? She replied: "He loves them. When I'd write the songs after we'd be in a fight or I'd be upset, I'd go record it and come home and play it to him. I would be nervous because I'd feel bad that I was venting about us and it's personal and it's going to be out there for people to hear and the other songwriter knows about it. But he is such a supportive man. He is so great, and he loves the songs and was very encouraging and proud of me for being able to write what I did and vent about it and get it out in a positive way. It made me feel better, where other people can understand what they're going through."
