Interesting facts and trivia about Open up the Heavens. By Songfacts®.

Here, Jade Bird is "alone in the middle of the night" picking the bones of a toxic relationship. Her lover is putting no effort into the romance, leaving the singer feeling "completely drenched."

Jade Bird recorded the song for her second album, Different Kinds Of Light. She laid down the record at Nashville's famed RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb, known for his work with Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton and Brandi Carlile, and also for the A Star Is Born soundtrack.

Jade Bird wrote and recorded this soaring pop-rock track two days before she had to fly back to England from Nashville. She'd heard stories about the last song you write for a record being the best, so she was searching for that in the vocal booth that evening. Bird told Apple Music she was hammering away on a riff when Cobb popped his head in and told her, "Oh, you really have to do something with that. It's a great riff." Encouraged, she quickly completed the song and sent it to him two hours later on a voice memo. Before Bird knew it, Cobb had brought all the musicians back in, and they raced through and tracked her favorite track on Different Kinds Of Light.
