Despacito was up.

It was like, oh, just like all these things are happening.

I'm like, this is going to work because right now this is easy for DJs to play.

And it kind of worked.

I was always thinking in my DJ mind, like, how are you going to put this in a set?

A hundred percent.

Like I always think like, how can I make this work when I DJ?

But then sometimes I write, I like love to make songs that do not work.

Like, you know, country music I got into recently, or even like the stuff I did with Beyonce, it's very melodic and minimal and acoustic.

I've done some pretty, you know, Joji, I did a record called Daylight.

There's like so many records that are just like, I just like have the back to my hip hop world, you know, like my like smoking weed, listening to Outkast kind of mind.

That's what I think.

I do that on the side.

Those records are harder for me to understand than they are like the DJ records because I understand like what people will move to, you know, so that's like my real skill.

Yeah, I think that is the first... This girl named Teresa worked for her and I knew her and then they hit me like, we want to sample this song for Run the World.

And then I was like, okay, well, do you need me?

And they're like, yeah, come to New York.

And we came, me and Switch, we made a couple songs for the album.

We made a...

I can't remember that song, but we did like three songs on an album.
