Bertie Higgins said, "I wrote this song for my then-girlfriend, now-wife. I remember it was 1982, and North Africa Spy was our favorite movie, and it was a romance that fascinated us. Combined with the feeling that this movie gave me, I wrote Casablanca for my girlfriend, and she was very touched, and agreed to my marriage proposal and became my wife. ”

The lyrics also incorporate a lot of elements of the film:

I fell in love with you watching Casablanca

When I watched Casablanca, I fell in love with you

Back row of the drive in show in the flickering light

The lights in the back of the drive-in cinema flickered

Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars became champagne and caviar

Popcorn and Coke turned into champagne and caviar under the stars

Making love on a long hot summers night

We fell in love on long, hot summer nights
