And it was like a sound, it was like the heyday, the SoundCloud days. in the YouTube days. They just like worked in tandem with each other. You could comment, it was like almost like forums, you know, all this stuff. And it's just so, that's like right when Post came around too. He had Holyfield, the song Holyfield is like one of my favorite songs. Anyways, there's a certain vibe, right?
So there was like everybody online, Hype Machine Kids, all this stuff, knew about Khalid, but he was picking up on YouTube, stuff like that, but he wasn't this like household name. And I was kind of new and I saw this like young kid like blowing up. And so I just, you know, I thought I loved his song.
So I was like, yo man, like number one, checking in and just like, how are you doing with everything? Like, cause I know it gets crazy, but it was so early. He's like, oh man, this is amazing. And I was like, yo, uh, I didn't even really hit him up to make music, dude. I don't know. There's something about him. I don't know what it was.
I was like, yo, do you want to come to Coachella and just like hang out? Like, I'll just like take you around. Cause I don't really know what I'm doing either. And he's texting me like, that's how early it was. Do I like, do I need security with me? Like, do you know, like, like, what do I do? Like, I don't really know how to play this. I was like, I don't know, man. Just like,
I was playing Coachella that year. I had this big house. I was like, come stay with me. I'm like, just, there's like, it's like a huge house. Just like stay in one of the rooms. I'll make sure you're like off to the side. Like you don't have to, you know, cause I want to be like practicing and stuff like that. Cause that was the year I drum battled Travis Barker.
I only played Coachella once, but like I had like a drum set, all this stuff. I was like, it's gonna be really crazy. I know you, you're blowing up. You have your own life. Come stay with me and I'll just like make sure you're good. And so we do the whole Coachella thing and he's like texting me like,
this is so crazy man like i just met this person all this stuff like i'll be at the house whatever and he just like brought his friend they were just like stay in the room and and his managers i guess would just take them around coachella so we bonded like a lot right there and then he really blew up dude Like after that, like insane. Right. Location really caught fire as a household song. Radio.
Good vibe, you know, like everybody's rooting for like the young kid, you know, he's just amazing voice. You can't believe this. This album's 18. He like he made these songs was like 17. It's crazy. It's crazy. You're like this kid sounds like this. It was just so, just such a unique thing. And I was like, yo, man, I'm in the studio. Same studio I made alone. Small room, dude. Small room.
Something called, I forget the name, Lemon Tree Studios. Okay. It was in Ausla because they were an imprint of Atlantic. You know what I mean? It was like an Atlantic, like Blood Pop worked there. But he bought his own room at the very end of this very small building But he had like a huge room and legend blood pops definitely such a such a legend.
Um I'm like yo dude come through it comes with all of his homies and this small tiny room and everybody kind of like gets the hint like Oh, this is a little too small. So everybody leaves and it's just me and Khalid and
I'm playing through loops I mean just chords with like different sound textures right so pad sometimes people like piano I was still I was still new to studio sessions like I remember my first few studio sessions the A&R pulled me out was like hey man this is usually how studio sessions go you have to like let people like I was like oh my gosh all right so I kind of got it down by then you know I I was doing studio sessions for like six seven months at that point
Like, he didn't pull me out. We had, like, a break. And maybe I was being too overbearing or something. I forget what it was. Or too, like, I can't even remember, man. It was, like, ten years ago. But he didn't, like, pull me out. Like, can I talk to you? Just kind of like, oh, hey, man. Like, this is usually how studio sessions go. I'm like, okay.
So I knew, like, just come prepared with some loops. Not, like, full EDM beats. You know what I mean? So I'm cycling through loops. There's this tiny little couch behind me. Literally, like, right where this table is. That's how small this room is.
And the walls are probably halfway where that couch is from the wall right so This tiny room okay, okay padded over great like awesome speaker stuff like that He's like laying down, and he texted me and he's like you know what man like I'm so so busy, but like You're my like you're my brother. I love you. I will I'm gonna cancel some shit. I'll be there He's like I'll come by like 100%.
So I'm like, amazing. So I don't, you know, with like really, really, really famous, busy people, you know, their intentions are good, but sometimes maybe they'll miss the studio session, whatever. So I wasn't really expecting much, but he came through and he's laying sideways on the couch on his phone. I'm like, damn, like, he just showed up just, like, to be nice.
Like, maybe he doesn't want to make me, I didn't know what was going on. So I'm like, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to play some whack-ass, horrible loop I know he doesn't want anything to do with. So I play it. And he's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Go back to that other one. Because he's, like, laying on his phone. I'm like, he's, like, scrolling, you know? I'm like, what?
I'm like, okay. I didn't even know you. He's like, yeah, go back to that one. What are you doing? I'm like, my bad. And then, No joke. Plays for about five minutes. That whole time he was writing the full song on his phone. Didn't change lyrics once. Sits up, sits up like this, lays up. I thought he was on like, you know, Instagram or something.
He sits up, comes like vertical, kind of scoots to the edge of the, just us two, by the way. Scoots to the edge of the couch, closes his eyes, sings the whole song. No way. Completely. We did the second verse later. Sings first verse, whole hook, didn't change a word. Didn't change a word, dude. Closed his eyes, sang from the heart.
If you look at the credits, producer Marshmello, writer Khalid Robinson. That's incredible. And then I was so inspired because I had a full beat to it.
Yeah, but I didn't I just knew that like I knew how the verse would sound with that like won't be like random serum patch or whatever is like I found peace and I was like, dude, that hook is gonna go so good over this thing that I wrote because I was just playing eight bar loops for him, you know, wasn't playing like full things. I just trust people to be so good.
