Though her debut single, “Who Will Save Your Soul,” was her first song serviced to radio, upon release, the track didn’t gain traction right away. In fact, it was initially deemed a radio flop.
Eventually, Jewel found success in her music following a spot on Bob Dylan’s tour. Her relentless touring and Dylan’s push paid off as her song was added to radio stations across the country, eventually peaking at No. 11 on the Billboard all-genre Hot 100 chart in 1996.
Appearing on her debut album, 1995’s Pieces of You, which ended up becoming a “sleeper” hit and one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, “Who Will Save Your Soul” was written by Jewel during a solo spring break trip when she hitchhiked across America.
“So I had this genius idea that I would hitchhike and hobo across the country and hitchhike through New Mexico,” she shared, telling the story of how she came up with the idea for “Who Will Save Your Soul," which ended up earning a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1997. “I learned four chords, A minor, C, G, and D, in that order…my plan was to start street singing and make up lyrics about people.”
