Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Grace Kelly - Orchestra Version. By Songfacts®.

Mika wrote this song after he felt frustrated with record label executives that wanted him to change his sound to fit the common pop mold. In the song, Mika points out how he can pretend to be anyone he likes to win approval - in this case the glamorous actress Grace Kelly. He wrote the song after the record company told him they wanted to model his look and sound on Craig David, who was popular at the time in the UK. Mika rejected this idea and wrote "Grace Kelly" as a way of expressing his individuality.

This was only the second single to top the UK chart without selling a physical copy. "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley was the first.

Mika was born in Beirut, Lebanon and is London-based. He is a former jingle writer who wrote the theme for an Orbit chewing gum TV ad.
