The album is dedicated to the baby of the royal couple, as Westenra plans to send them a copy in hopes it might help them and their new child get through sleepless nights.

"Paul and I got together to work on ["Sleep On"] in honor of William and Kate's new arrival," Westerna told People, "as it's a joyous occassion which we can all celebrate."

Mealor told the British press that after writing music for the royal wedding, "it seemed natural to provide the musical accompaniment for the next stage of the royal couple's journey together."
