For All Our Days That Tear the Heart

Prior to formally meeting, both were familiarized with each other's work. Buckley stated that she had been listening to the Butler-produced album Old Wow by folk singer Sam Lee in the downtime between rehearsals for the National Theatre's production of Romeo and Juliet, while Butler had seen Buckley perform "Glasgow (No Place Like Home)" on an American chat show in promotion of 2018's Wild Rose. In an April 2022 interview with NME, Butler said about his first impression: "I remember clocking just how much character there was in her voice and how freely she expressed it."{{Cite web|last=Aubrey|first=Elizabeth|date=15 April 2022|title=Jessie Buckley and Bernard Butler share emotive new single 'The Eagle And The Dove'|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/jessie-buckley-and-bernard-butler-share-emotive-new-single-the-eagle-and-the-dove-3205530|access-date=21 May 2022|website=NME}}
