When Robbie Hart - Adam Sandler’s character in The Wedding Singer - realizes Drew Barrymore’s character is on the same plane, he hatches a plan with Billy Idol and the flight crew. Idol comes on the intercom and announces in-flight entertainment. Sandler then proceeds to lip-synch “Grow Old with You,” a song he co-wrote for the film. It’s incredibly sweet with a dash of Sandler’s trademark humor. It’s been one of my go-to tunes for both anniversary and Valentine’s Day singing telegrams for most of my career. I sang it when my dad proposed to my stepmom. I sang it when surprising a longtime customer at her wedding reception, and was surprised myself when wedding guests joined me and sang along. So we decided to record a cover version. Mexico-born guitarist El Javi produced it and my LexaPeel duet partner Lex sang backup vocals. Mixing and mastering was done by DVLP Academy’s Drew Dugan.

“Grow Old with You” drops February 13 on all streaming platforms. Pre-save it here.
