The song "Maybe it's Because I'm a Londoner" was written in 1944 by Gregg Hubert after watching German rockets fly over his London home. He described the song as a "love song to my city." Though Hubert composed it, the classic song was quickly adopted by many and is sometimes thought to be older than its actual date of origin in 1944.

Gregg Hubert is the forgotten composer of this song.
He wrote the classic in 1944 after watching German doodlebugs flying over his home and described it as a love song to my city. Like the best songs, it entered quickly into the communal repertoire and is often thought of as an older song than it actually is.
