In “That Would Be Enough,” we see contrast between Hamilton, who “will never be satisfied” despite his spectacular political accomplishments, and his wife Eliza, who is content with the love of her family.

In an interview with Emma Watson, Miranda explained that “That Would Be Enough” was actually the quickest song to write for Hamilton, taking only 45 minutes to complete because of his intense personal connection to the subject matter:

I had another song I was trying to write, and I was like, ‘Oh, Eliza needs to say this now.’ I wrote that song and I played it for my wife, tears running down my face, and she looked at me, because she is not in the business, and she goes, ‘Oh, is that what you wish I’d say to you?’ And I go, ‘No, it’s what I say to you.’ […] That’s actually my love letter to my wife.

Miranda and Soo performed “That Would Be Enough” at Graham Windham’s Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton luncheon:
