She explained that she first got to know Vance via her partner, Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol:

"Johnny brought Foy into my life a few years ago and, immediately, he became a very close friend. He also got to know my daughter, Coco, and a song was born.

From the first time Foy played 'Coco' for me I felt he captured the beautiful childhood innocence that fades with time. It is like a snapshot of the world as seen through a child's eyes… sung by a man who is moved by how the world seems from her perspective. I think it’s a perspective that we, as adults, never stop longing for."

Cox had previously directed Kodaline's 'Love Will Set You Free'.
