A Thousand Years was written by Christina Perri and David Hodges, for TheTwilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. The song was released as a digital download on October 18, 2011, worldwide, and serves as the second single for the movie.

Christina Judith Perri (born August 19, 1986) is an American singer and songwriter. After her debut single Jar of Hearts was featured on the television series So You Think You Can Dance in 2010, Perri signed with Atlantic Records and released her debut extended play, The Ocean Way Sessions. Her debut studio album, Lovestrong (2011), followed soon after and has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Perri also gained recognition for writing and recording this love theme for The Twilight Saga, which appears on the accompanying soundtrack. The song went on to sell over 4 million copies in the USA. Perri was born in Bensalem, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Philadelphia), the daughter, and younger child of Mary and Dante Perri. She graduated from Archbishop Ryan High School in 2004. She taught herself how to play guitar as a 16-year-old by watching a videotape. She attended college as a communication major for a year before dropping out to pursue a music career. She frequently sang and acted in musical theatre as a child. Perri claims to have learned to play piano and guitar because she missed hearing music being played in the house when she moved away.According to Perri, whenever she played the guitar or piano, she would sing and "all of a sudden these songs would appear." She moved to Los Angeles on her 21st birthday. According to Perri, she felt terrified of being over 3,000 miles away from her family, saying that she "cried her eyes out every day."
