Musik: "But not for me" "But not for me" von George Gershwin gehört zweifelsohne zu jenen Standards, die alle kennen.

Er arrangierte Baker-Erfolgsnummern wie "Love For Sale" und "But Not For Me" und eigene Kompositionen für sein "My Chet My Song"-Projekt.

Die Textzeile "Another day, another drama, drama/ But not for me, not for me/ All I think about is karma" ist eine direkte Antwort auf Perrys im Frühjahr veröffentlichten Song "Swish Swish",
