Composers and singers pick certain keys that don't necessarily make sense all the time. One standard example is Ramblin Man by the Allmans. When you listen to the original recording you find it's in Ab but nobody I've ever played with does it in Ab. I read years ago that the guys tuned their guitars up a half step but I never read why. I can only assume that as subtle as it is somebody thought that taking it up a half step from G helped the vocals stand out or it was easier to sing or something.

When you're at the level they're at there's all kinds of highly educated pros hanging around the studios talking about this kind of thing.
