The pair recorded the slow-burner the day after they laid down the final version of "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" for the Extra gum commercial. The Idyllwild, Calif., singer said the pair's easy relationship made it possible to record so quickly. "We are comfortable with each other. It’s just that we know each other so well, and we can hang out with each other and we’re very open to new things and new ideas," he said. "We like some of the same music. We have similar voices that are not as pristine but a little more gritty and rough, which we both love.”

Abrams said neither he nor Reinhart had any idea that the Extra gum commercial would take off the way it did, and on the last day of recording the song, there were "so many people there with cameras and producers and mixers, I realized, 'Whoa, this is a serious commercial.'"

"It was really cool to play for all those people. I just saw the commercial the other day on TV in the hotel room, and thought, yeah, this is awesome!" he said. "That’s my friend singing!"
