Life can be overwhelming, especially when love is involved. This song suggests we just do the best we can and enjoy the show. It's like what Ferris Bueller said: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The Australian television actress and singer-songwriter Lenka is known to her parents as Lenka Kripac. She was born and raised in New South Wales until the age of six when her family moved to Sydney. After featuring as vocalist on a couple of albums for the Australian outfit Decoder Ring, she moved to Los Angeles in 2007. This song was the first release from Lenka's debut self-titled solo album.
Lenka wrote this song with the American singer/songwriter Jason Reeves, who is a frequent Colbie Caillat collaborator. In a Songfacts interview with Jason Reeves, he explained how "The Show" came together. Said Reeves: "We wrote that song together in LA, actually. We got set up by our publisher, Sony, and I never met her but I had heard a couple of her songs before we got together to write. And I just loved her voice. There's something really unique about how she sings. That was the first song we wrote, and sometimes it happens that way. But that's one of my favorite songs I've ever co-written with somebody. And I guess sometimes it doesn't work when you just meet a stranger and write a song, but sometimes it can work very well."
