Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about How Could You Babe. By Songfacts®.

Tobias Jesso Jr. spent four years as a struggling musician in Los Angeles, before moving back to his home in Vancouver. This piano ballad finds him singing about discovering that his ex-lover in L.A. had hooked up with another guy. He told Stereogum: "That was like a few weeks back, or a month or so back in Vancouver. I found out that the girl that I had been with in L.A. was with somebody else telling him she loved him and what not, and I was like, 'I didn't even know' - kind of like one of those, 'Geez I thought we had another shot when she was back in Vancouver.'" "But anyways we're friends now, so it's fine."

Interest was generated when Adele tweeted a link to the song praising, "This is fantastic, click away." As a result, Jesso was asked to perform the tune on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The English songstress also flew across the Atlantic to write with Jesso and one track, "When We Were Young" ended up on her 25 album. A second tune, "Lay Me Down," was included as a bonus track on the Target and Japanese versions of the record.
