Sara Bareilles "Love Song"
Sara Bareilles' first hit single under the Epic Records label was "Love Song" off of her 2007 album Little Voice. Bareilles wrote the song after the record label told her that they wanted her to write a love song for the new album. Instead, she wrote the song, with the lyrics talking about writing a love song. The music video depicts Bareilles inside a clock in a little shop.
