Norah Jones’s "Seven Years" was written by her then-boyfriend and bassist, Lee Alexander. He penned the sentimental, acoustic track after watching a home video of Jones dancing carefree as a child. Jones described it as a sweet sentiment about a child in her own world, happy and content. The song was featured on Jones’s breakthrough, Diamond-certified 2002 debut album, Come Away with Me. It highlights the album's signature confessional, folk-leaning approach, complete with soft acoustic and bluesy slide guitar work by Kevin Breit.
