Background
After seeing a screener of the 2015 Swedish film A Man Called Ove, which was based on the novel of the same name by Fredrik Backman, Rita Wilson spent five years producing and developing an American adaptation, through her production company Artistic Films, to star her husband Tom Hanks.[1][2][3] During pre-production for A Man Called Otto, director Marc Forster asked Wilson to write a song for the film. The resulting song, "Til You're Home", was written by Wilson and David Hodges. After hearing him on the Encanto soundtrack, Wilson asked Sebastián Yatra to appear on the track with her.[1][2][4] The song is produced by Wilson and Matt Rollings.[3]
The song is based on themes from the film, of aging, death, hope, love, loss, and the meaning of home.[1][5] It was inspired in part by a conversation Wilson had with director Mike Nichols after her father died, about continuing to converse with a loved one after they die.[1][2]
