What it is
"Nick of Time" is the title track of Bonnie Raitt's 1989 album Nick of Time, released as a single in 1990. The song is about getting older and how precious time is. Raitt drew on a friend near middle age who longed for a baby and on her worry about her own aging parents, and she wrote most of it during a week-long cabin retreat in Mendocino, California.
