"Lullaby" comes off Shawn Mullins' fourth album, Soul's Core, in 1998, a song he wrote by himself about a girl who wants out of her high-society life. It went to American radio that August before turning up in the shops, backed with "The Gulf of Mexico" and, in Britain only, "Changes".
It remains the biggest thing Mullins has ever done. It climbed to seven on the Hot 100, topped three other Billboard charts, and traveled well: nine in the UK, five in Australia and two in Canada.
