Plain Talk: About the Track

The nostalgic and emotive song used in the 2022 Downy fabric softener commercial is “Times of Your Life” by the legendary Paul Anka. Composed by Roger Nichols with lyrics by Bill Lane, the track was originally released as a single in 1975. Its gentle melody and lyrics about the fleeting nature of time make it a perfect fit for Downy’s messaging, which often focuses on the long-lasting comfort of home and family memories.

Downy is a major brand under Procter & Gamble (P&G), a company founded on October 31, 1837, by William Procter and James Gamble. Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, P&G has a long history of using music to evoke emotional connections. By adopting Paul Anka’s classic, Downy taps into a sense of warmth and heritage, suggesting that while “time slips away,” the freshness and softness of your clothes can remain a constant, comforting presence in your life.
