Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Wait A Minute My Girl. By Songfacts®.

Volbeat wrote and recorded this summer love song during the coronavirus pandemic. The track is a product of the band working together remotely. Singer Michael Poulsen, bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen, drummer Jon Larsen and longtime producer Jacob Hansen all based in Europe were able to connect with guitarist Rob Caggiano in New York.

At just over two minutes long, this is an old-school rock 'n' roll love song where Michael Poulsen sings of a summer romance that he fears is nearing its end. Rather than going their separate ways, he pleads with the girl to stay with him.

Guest saxophone player Doug Corcoran from JD McPherson's band performs a roaring sax solo. His contribution, along with that of his bandmate, pianist Raynier Jacob Jacildo, adds to the song's retro rock and roll vibe. Both musicians previously appeared with Volbeat on their 2019 track "Die To Live." Singer Mia Maja, who has worked with the band since their 2016 album Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie, also features on backing vocals.
