This all of a sudden gives you something in common with everyone else. It's very true. And it's more than just music, you know? And I think that's really, I've always wanted to be, that's the power of pop music. And I've always wanted to be a part of that.

So for me, it was, you know, finally, I felt like it was fulfilling sort of this dream or this destiny that I, of why I got, why I love pop music in the first place.

So, Yeah, we went, so I was in the bathroom. I tell the story a lot. I was in the bathroom at the Royal Garden Hotel in the UK. Shout out to the Royal Garden. My wife was on the other side of the wall. We had just gotten married before, some months before. And she was just like fixing her hair. I was like, oh, I feel so ugly today. I was like, oh, you're so beautiful.

I was like, oh, you're so beautiful.

You don't know you're beautiful. And I wrote that line down. I had called Carl and Rami. So I'd done a couple of songs for the boys, like, up all night. And I was helping put together the album, getting other writers and producers interested in the band, which was tricky at first because a lot of people were like, oh, I don't want to do a boy band, you know. And...

So I asked my good friends, Carl and Rami. So Carl Falk, who I earlier in my career, I did a lot of Westlife songs with and a few Westlife hits with. I hadn't worked with him in a minute. And Rami Yacoub, who became one of my close friends. We did a lot of Simon Cowell stuff together, Shane Ward and a few other things that if you live in the UK, you'd know.

I hadn't worked with them in a minute and they started working together. And I called them up and I was like, look, I need your help with this. You know, I just knew instinctively Carl had, you know, I mean, Rami is old school. Rami produced Hit Me Baby One More Time, wrote It's Gonna Be Me, a lot of the Backstreet stuff. He was part of Cheron.

And I just had instinctively felt that they would be the right people to do this with. And I kind of told them the direction, look, we need to make a guitar pop. We're going to make it fun. And we've got to figure out how to do it where it's not trying to be cool. And they started, you know, Carl's an amazing musician, started jamming around with riffs and chords and couldn't figure out anything.

And I stepped out of the room, went through my voice notes, which I do because I always record melodies all the time in my voice notes. And I found, it was something like that. I've got it somewhere in one of my old phones. And, you know, started singing that along to what Carl was doing. I was like, I think I have something. And then, yeah, I just developed from there.
