Trijntje Oosterhuis wanted to make an homage to Bacharach, because he wrote so many songs and most people don't even realize how many hits were written by his hand and this was a way that she could offer him the respect he deserves.

Los Angeles where she asked him whether he would like to play the piano on some tracks.
