Tim Wheeler revealed that the song was written while he was on a break in the South of France. He said [2]:
“ | I was on holiday and I ran into a friend who works for U2 doing their public relations. It was totally by coincidence and she invited us to come and hang out with Bono in his holiday home there. He and The Edge have two mansions on the beach side by side and I didn't have a hotel booked for the last few nights. And Bono said: "Sure why don't you just stay here" We had one beautiful house to ourselves and there was an old piano there. And I sat down one day and wrote the melody for Polaris. | ” |
