Filed under: Story Behind the Song, Songs

Singer-songwriter Jeffrey Steele talks to The Boot about the No. 1 hit for Rascal Flatts, ‘My Wish,’ which he wrote with Steve Robson.

I have four kids. In the past, I had written a song for both of my older daughters, Jessie and Casey. They always pipe up different thoughts when I write.
