A música Hey, Soul Sister do Train foi criada com influências de pop e folk, inspirada pela beleza das strings ukulele. O vocalista Pat Monahan se inspirou em uma demonstração de música que ouviu enquanto estava no estúdio e decidiu criar uma faixa que capturasse essa essência leve e alegre. A letra fala sobre um amor profundo e admiração, usando a imagem de uma soul sister como metáfora para essa conexão especial.
