Data Insight

The article states plainly that Hayes and Jones wrote every track, and they did: no outside writer appears on any of the twelve. Charles Fisher produces most of it with Chris Lord-Alge mixing, which is where the polish comes from, but the songs arrive already written by the two of them.

Savage Garden is the duo's self-titled debut, released on 24 March 1997. Twelve tracks including 'To the Moon and Back', 'I Want You' and 'Truly Madly Deeply', which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It is certified twelve times platinum by ARIA and seven times platinum by the RIAA.
