So if you're a producer and you have a sound that's good, people want it, mass produce it, get that sound out there, make sure that's your sound, and then move on to the next one quick before someone else does.

Cold Water was cool because.

you know, I'm, that was the first record Benny ever sent me.

Like it was, it was like, Oh, that's, you know, that's crazy.

Cause we have just doing like really kinda, that's very pop for our project at the time.

And so we kind of like redid the guitar and I was like, make kind of a dance hall beat, you know?

And I think Ed did a lot more of that dance hall thing after that.

But we were like, how do we make this fit?

And we actually added Mo on the bridge to kind of make it not just be a money grab with Justin Bieber, you know, because I wanted to make it feel like our record.

I don't know if people even cared of like the intricacies of like us making it feel a little more ours, but because it was just a well-written record.

He could give that record to anybody.

And you get like really big residuals on those records, records that get played every football game.
