Since releasing their seventh studio album, Melt Away: A Tribute To Brian Wilson, in 2022, She & Him experienced a sudden surge in popularity when “I Thought I Saw Your Face Today" became a viral hit. This was the first song Deschanel shared with bandmate M.Ward for their debut album, Volume One in 2008, and the song’s resurgent popularity earned them their first Billboard Hot 100 hit, 18 years after its initial release.
Although never released as a single, the band performed their newly minted hit song for the first time on television on Thursday, in a special performance for Jimmy Kimmel Live! Check it out below.

About She & Him
While starring in the 2007 film The Go-Getter, Zooey Deschanel was asked by director Martin Hynes to perform a duet with Ward, who agreed to helm the movie’s soundtrack. The two recorded a cover of Richard & Linda Thompson’s “When I Get To The Border” and later reconvened in Portland, Oregon, where they began recording Deschanel’s original songs. Drawing upon analog production techniques and a shared love of vintage pop bands, the duo emerged with Volume One, a collection of songs that introduced Deschanel as a singer/songwriter in her own right.
The first song she shared with Ward for those sessions was “I Thought I Saw Your Face Today”. The band continued with albums Volume Two, Volume 3 and four lauded albums of cover versions: A Very She & Him Christmas, Christmas Party, Classics, and Melt Away: A Tribute To Brian Wilson.
