Background

Ingrid Michaelson wrote a majority of It Doesn't Have to Make Sense (2016) while taking inspiration from the loss of her mother, giving the album a dark tone. To contrast this feeling, Michaelson began writing the chorus of "Celebrate", stating in an interview "how can you not be happy when you're singing the word 'celebrate?'" [1] During live performances, she would detail her interactions with Jimmy Clark that are described within the song before performing it. [2]
