Origins

"Don't Know Why" is based on the track "Why (Does Your Love Hurt So Much)" by Natasha Thomas, which was released in 2003 by Epic Records and is in turn based on Carly Simon's 1982 single "Why". The SoundGirl and Natasha Thomas tracks both build on the success of the signature reggae/pop sound of Ace of Base.
