Holiday partnered with composer/songwriter Arthur Herzog Jr. Throughout her career, the two often worked together and he wrote several jazz songs she popularized, including "Don't Explain". Jonathan Schwartz walks us through the song, investigating its lyrics and the process of writing the legendary song.
