Background

According to Sara Bareilles, there were a handful of songs that were included, either Bareilles and co-writer Jessie Nelson wrote it toward from a narrative perspective, or which just happened to sort of fit into the world of the show because they were written at that time in their life. She cited "Coming Back to You" in the second episode, as a song from her life where she was "trying to get back to the purest connection between her and the muse". [7] She wrote the title song "Little Voice" for her eponymous second studio album in 2007 and while submitting the song to Epic Records, the executives told that the song was not strong as the rest of the albums and should be omitted, which felt her upset. When she discussed with Nelson of a theme song, he could not crack a new theme, but however remembered of the track "Little Voice" and sent to her knowing that it would be resonated with the show, which was later approved.
