Diplo

I was in Amsterdam for ADE.

That's like the big dance music festival where you, you know, it's a summit for labels and people that do dance music.

I met her there and she's like, I want to work with you.

And I was like, all right.

I was like, well, I don't know who you are, but she's like, I have an apartment here.

If you want to come up, we can just like play music.

And I went up to this place and I had like three beats.

They're reggae beats.

I didn't have anything at the time, but these like reggae, like classic reggae beats.

So I was trying to like do something like get free.

She wrote lean on into other songs, just the chorus and some weird gibberish kind of words.

And I sat on it.

I was like, damn, it's kind of cool.

And then my manager at the time, Kevin was like, that sounds like that's a good chorus.

It sounds like, yeah, maybe I should fuck with that.

So like a year later, I dug it up.

So I changed the tempo because that reggae wasn't working.

I was like, we did that already and nobody really cares.

So I was like, let me make like a hip hop song, like a DJ Mustard kind of beat with it.

So I started working on this like version of it, sped it up, started rewriting it.
