Speaking to People magazine Cox said: "Johnny brought Foy into my life a few years ago, and, immediately, he became a very close friend. He also got to know my daughter, Coco, and a song was born.”

"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.”

Vance added: "That old adage 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' has never proved more true than with Courteney and Coco. As soon as I wrote the song 'Coco' – which started out as an off the cuff verse to make Coco laugh – it was obvious that Courteney would direct the video.”

"I was thrilled when Foy asked if I would direct the video for ‘Coco.’,” Cox added. “My hope is that I conveyed in a visual way the many levels of feeling that Foy's song so brilliantly expressed."
