Couretney Cox has opened up about how Foy Vance’s song Coco came to be.
The actress is dating Snow Patrol frontman Johnny McDaid who introduced her to the Down native.
“Johnny brought Foy into my life a few years ago, and, immediately, he became a very close friend,” the 52-year-old admitted.

The Alabama native admitted that Foy captured not only her daughter’s personality in the song but childhood innocence in general.
“He also got to know my daughter, Coco, and a song was born,” Courteney said to People magazine.
“From the first time Foy played Coco for me – and every time I’ve heard it since – I’ve felt he captured not only Coco’s unique personality but also the beautiful childhood innocence that sadly, but inevitably, fades with time.
“It is like a snapshot of the world as seen through a child’s eyes … sung by a man who is moved by how the world seems from her perspective.
“I think it’s a perspective that we, as adults, never stop longing for.”

The Friends star further revealed that she was thrilled when Foy asked her to direct the video and has only kind words about the Northern Irish artist.
“I was thrilled when Foy asked if I would direct the video for Coco,” she continued.
“My hope is that I conveyed in a visual way the many levels of feeling that Foy’s song so brilliantly expressed.
“I am struck and continue to be struck by Foy’s incredible soul as a musician and father.
“He is a truly unique human being, and I am proud to call him a friend.”
