Interesting facts and trivia about Dear Darlin'. By Songfacts®.

This haunting tubular bells-assisted track finds Murs writing a letter to a recent ex. It is one of three songs on Right Place, Right Time that he penned with Ed Drewett, co-writer of The Wanted's "All Time Low" and "Glad You Came." A fellow singer-songwriter from Essex with mutual pals, Drewett was a natural songwriting partner for Murs. "Being friends helped, as we spoke for ages before writing Dear Darlin'" said Murs. "We sat there for hours, going over old relationships and recalling their scenarios."
"It's about writing to someone to tell them how I feel about losing someone," he added.

The song's music video was filmed in Los Angeles and shows Murs sitting alone in an apartment thinking about a recent relationship split and recalling all the times they had together. Murs told fans that the song and visual is a chance for them to see his "more sensitive" side.

Digital Spy asked Olly Murs if the song is based on personal experience? He replied: "I suppose in a way it is. One of my ex-girlfriends, we used to write a lot of letters to each other because she lived in Leeds and I was in Essex. Whenever I knew I wasn't going to see her for a while, I'd write her a letter - and I think people have lost sight of doing that now. I remember writing little love letters at school to girls, and we decided for this song that the lyrics should be based on me writing a letter."
