Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Have You Never Been Mellow. By Songfacts®.

In this song, the singer is trying to convince a type-A, high-strung person in her life not to take everything so hard. "Have you never been mellow?" she asks him, perhaps rhetorically.

This was written by Australian musician and songwriter John Farrar, who was a member of the group The Shadows. He wrote many of Olivia Newton-John's hits, including "Hopelessly Devoted To You" and "Magic."

Inspiration struck while Farrar was on tour with Newton-John in America. "All the guys in the band were using 'mellow' as their favorite word," he recalled to Billboard.
