Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about I'd Rather Be with You. By Songfacts®.

This is a single from American folk musician Joshua Radin's second album, Simple Times. The record was released in America in September 2008 and in April 2010 in the UK.

Radin explained the song's meaning to IndieLondon: "That was actually about trying to get my best girlfriend back [smiles]. You can obsess about a lot of things in your mind, especially love… sometimes it makes it easier to just write it out."

The music video for the song's American release was directed by Scrubs actor and Radin's best friend Zach Braff. A second video directed by Tony Petrossian and Marc Klasfeld was done for the UK. This one was filmed on the outskirts of Los Angeles and features Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere.
