About this episode

Pat Monahan discusses the songwriting process behind Train's hit song 'Drops of Jupiter'.

"I'm pretty sure that my mother helped me write that song... And it was so quick that you just instantly think, this is not a good song. But then later when you look at it in hindsight, it's like maybe the easy ones to write are the best ones."       —Pat Monahan on writing the Train hit, “Drops of Jupiter” Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb is Presented by CVS.
