Interesting facts and trivia about Parachute - Acoustic. By Songfacts®.

Michaelson told Billboard magazine why she released this ukulele-strumming one-off single in between her third and fourth album: "It's very poppy and different from what I've done in the past, which is pretty much straight down-the-middle, singer/songwriter stuff," she explained. "I just felt like I wanted to put something out. I'm not ready to put a full album out, so we thought we'd put this out and see how people take it or don't take it."

The song's sound was influenced by Train's, "Hey Soul Sister," which brought the ukulele to the forefront of a big hit. "I heard that song and I was like, 'Wait a second... oh well, there goes that'," Michaelson said with a laugh. "What I did is now stamped on that song forever - that very, very catchy song that will never go out of our brains."

Michaelson penned this song with Los Angeles based songwriter/producer Marshall Altman.
