About You'll Be in My Heart

It’s always nice to hear the meaning behind songs we know and love, and thanks to Harry Connick Jr.’s talk show, we finally got to learn the background behind one of our favorites. Actress and model Lily Collins talked about “You’ll Be In My Heart,” the heartwarming song by her father Phil Collins, and mentioned how the song initially started out as a lullaby from when she was a baby. Released in 1999, the song was prominently featured on the soundtrack to Disney’s Tarzan. Lily, born a decade prior, was ten when the song started playing on the radio.

Philip David Charles Collins LVO (born 30 January 1951) is an English drummer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and actor, best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis and for his solo career. Between 1982 and 1990, Collins scored three UK and seven US number-one singles in his solo career.
