There is, however, at least one exception to Crow keeping quiet about how her love life translates into her work. In 2002, Crow released the song "Safe and Sound" on her album "C'mon, C'mon." In the liner notes of her album, Crow admitted the subject of her song was her then-boyfriend, actor Owen Wilson (via E! Online).

The two met in 1999 during the filming of "The Minus Man" per IMDb. It was a classic meet cute: Wilson played a serial killer, while Crow was one of Wilson's victims. The pair dated for a couple of years before ultimately going their separate ways. Although the song reads like a break-up song, it's clear there's love there, with Crow singing, "I don't blame you for quitting/I know you really tried/If only you could hang on through the night/Cause I don't want to be lonely/I don't want to be scared/And all our friends are waiting there" (via Genius).

Years later, Crow would open up to Good Housekeeping about what she thinks of as her fatal flaw in dating.

"I have always gone out with guys who were highly successful, which would seem like it would put me at an equal level," she said. "But what ends up happening is that one of you becomes smaller — and it was always me. I do think that sometimes in order for one person's light to shine, everyone else has to dim theirs" (via People).

While it's unclear if Crow is speaking of Wilson as well, hopefully he at least thanked her for the nice song.
