Tell me about your song in Valentine's Day.Jewel: "I wrote 'Stay Here Forever.' I didn't write it for the movie, actually. I wrote 'Stay Here Forever' this summer. I wrote it for my husband. It's basically about when you're in love with somebody going on adventures is fun, but sometimes staying home is the most fun."
That's totally true. When you saw the film, how did your song get incorporated into it? Do you think they put it in the right spot?
Jewel: "Yeah. It's going to be the lead single for the soundtrack. It's going to radio now, and they play it at the end of the movie so I'm excited about it."
Do you like doing songs for soundtracks?
Jewel: "I love it. I just really love to be a part of anything creative, with a great director. It was a really great movie to be a part of."
Well you act – how come you're not in this movie? Everybody else is.
Jewel: "It was jam-packed."
Are you a sucker for romantic comedies?
Jewel: "I like a good one."
What really draws you in?
Jewel: "I think everybody wants to feel that romance is well and alive, and that meant aren't total jerks – which they aren't."
