     Diana Jean Krall(born November 16, 1964) is a Canadian jazz pianist, and singer known for her contralto vocals. She has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, including over six million in the US. On December 11, 2009, Billboard magazine named her the second greatest jazz artist of the decade (2000–2009), establishing her as one of the best-selling artists of her time.

       Krall is the only jazz singer to have had eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums. To date, she has won three Grammy Awards and eight Juno Awards. She has also earned nine gold, three platinum, and seven multi-platinum albums.

   Wallflower is the twelfth studio album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, released on February 3, 2015, by Verve Records. The album was produced by David Foster. The album's supporting tour, Wallflower World Tour, began in Boston on February 25, 2015.

       The album consists of cover songs of various pop and rock songs, the only previously unreleased track being "If I Take You Home Tonight" by Paul McCartney. He wrote the song for his album Kisses on the Bottom, in which he collaborated with Krall. Although the song did not make the cut for that album, Krall asked McCartney if she could record the song, and he gave his consent.

What have I got to do to make you love me?

What have I got to do to make you care?

What do I do when lightning strikes me?

And to wake to find that you're not there

 

What do I do to make you want me?

What have I got to do to be heard?

What do I say when it's all over?

And sorry seems to be the hardest word

 

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad, sad situation

And it's getting more and more absurd

 

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over?

Oh, it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

 

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad, sad situation

And it's getting more and more absurd

 

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over?

Oh, it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

 

What do I do to make you love me?

What have I got to do to be heard?

What do I do when lightning strikes me?

What have I got to do?

What have I got to do?

When sorry seems to be the hardest word.
