“More Than Words” was written by Gary Cherone, the lead singer of Extreme, and Nuno Bettencourt, the band’s guitarist. The song talks about how love is more than just saying “I love you”; it’s about showing that love through actions.

“It’s such a simple song, really,” Bettencourt said. “It doesn’t have the standard ‘verse-chorus-bridge’ arrangement. It doesn’t have that part in typical ballads where you go, ‘OK, everybody get ready for the big hook.’ It kind of meanders. But that’s the beauty of the song, I think. It flows along very naturally” This unique style is part of what makes the song special and relatable.
