Which Stevie Wonder song was inspired by the birth of his daughter Aisha?
Answer
Isn't She Lovely
Stevie Wonder’s song “Isn’t She Lovely” was inspired by the birth of his daughter Aisha.
The song appears on Wonder’s 1976 double album Songs in the Key of Life. Its lyrics celebrate the arrival of a child, while the recording includes audio associated with Aisha’s birth and early life, giving the track an unusually intimate documentary quality.
Aisha Morris was born in 1975 to Wonder and Yolanda Simmons. Wonder wrote the song with songwriter Burnetta “Bunny” Jones, and the track became one of the best-known pieces from the album even though it was not released as a conventional commercial single in the United States.
Listeners sometimes describe it as a romantic love song because of its warmth, but its subject is specifically Wonder’s daughter and the joy surrounding her birth.
