La canción Sweet Caroline fue inspirada en Caroline Kennedy, hija del presidente de los EE. UU., John F. Kennedy. Neil Diamond vio una foto de ella en una revista en la década de 1960 y se sintió motivado para escribir la canción. Años después, Diamond reveló la verdadera inspiración para la canción a la propia Caroline Kennedy durante una actuación en el 50º aniversario de su cumpleaños.
