The song was written in 1938 for the musical comedy "I Married an Angel," which premiered on May 11, 1938, at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. The musical was later produced on Broadway, opening on May 11, 1938, at the Majestic Theatre. "Spring Is Here" is a ballad that features a slow, melancholic melody and introspective lyrics. The song is in the key of C major and has a 4/4 time signature. The song's melody is characterized by its use of chromaticism, which gives the song a sense of longing and sadness. The song's lyrics describe the arrival of spring and the feelings of loneliness and heartbreak that come with it. The song has been recorded by many artists over the years, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Barbra Streisand. The song has also been featured in several films, including "Words and Music" (1948) and "The Boys in the Band" (1970). "Spring Is Here" is one of Rodgers and Hart's most enduring songs, and it has become a standard in the American songbook. The song's popularity is due in part to its timeless melody and poignant lyrics, which continue to resonate with audiences today.
