She was a girl at his school that Tom thought was cute!. He walked up to her and was like "I'm going to write a song about you and when it makes it big, will you be my date to the Grammy's!?" Delilah thought he was crazy but was like "Sure!." Then it did and she went as his date, though they were never together because she was in a relationship!.
I'll try to find the video of the interview!.

edit:
It's not the interview, but I found the story in a youtube video!.

The song, written by Higgenson, is based on 24-year-old Delilah DiCrescenzo who is now an assistant track coach at Bryn Mawr College!. Higgenson, having met her through a mutal friend, asked her out but she turned him down!. "I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen," Higgenson says!. "I told her, 'I have a song about you already!.' Obviously, there was no song!. But I thought it was smooth!." A year later he wrote 'Hey There Delilah'!. On the other hand, rumor has it that Delilah is a name chosen because it suited the song metrically!. Many years later, Delilah DiCrescenzo finally gave Higgenson a date when the song was nominated for a Grammy Award!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Plain White T's frontman Tom Higginson wrote this ode to Columbia University steeplechase runner Delilah DiCrescenzo!. He fell for Delilah and told her he'd written a tune about her, then quickly backed off when she asked to hear the song, which didn't exist yet!. By the time he got around to penning the ditty, Delilah was long gone!. She has since weighed in, saying, "Part of me wants to scream at the top of my lungs that it's about me!. Another part of me wants to cover and say it's not!." Www@Enter-QA@Com
