During preparation for his daughter's wedding, Brian Mulroney was hesitant to listen to Buble's CD, given by Mulroney's speech writer Michael McSweeney after a corporate gig, because the wedding had a long list of entertainment. However, it was Brian's wife Mila who told him to listen to the CD and include Buble in the entertainment list, after which Buble was invited to sing in front of wedding guest David Foster, who later produced Buble's self-titled album. His grandfather was a plumber who, whenever he fixed something at a nightclub or something like that, did it for free if the owners allowed Bublu00e9 to sing there. His self-penned single, "Home" has the distinction of being the most-heard song on Canadian radio in 2005, reaching an audience estimated to exceed 382 million people.

Two years later they became an item and moved to Toronto as part of the cast of another musical revue, this time a big band musical revue called Forever Swing. The hit single "Home" from the album It's Time was written for Debbie Timuss, whom Bublu00e9 has had a near decade long off-again-on-again relationship. Having gotten back together from one of their breakups and away in Italy on tour, he penned "Home" for Timuss, describing his pain from being away from her. She is the song's background vocalist and is featured in the song's music video. He referred the album It's Time as "Debbie's Record", and a few of the tracks on It's Time was recorded while he sang to her as she sat outside the studio. They became formally engaged pre-Christmastime 2004 and called off the engagement November 2005.

At 18, Bublu00e9 entered a talent contest in a local bar even though the rules stipulated contestants had to be 19. After he won, the organizer, a local publicist and entrepreneur named Beverly Delich, disqualified him but was so impressed by his talent that she later called him at his parents' home and suggested he enter the British Columbia Youth Talent Search.
