And then we, and I started singing the verse melody, Max came in, we started fixing the melodies. And then, you know, I wrote the lyric and Ilya nailed the track and it became Problem. And Ari came and recorded that, recorded one last time.

I had another guy, two other guys from Sweden, one named Peter Svensson from the Cardigans and the guy named Mal Piyami started the idea for Love Me Harder, went in and we finished that. One of the dreams when I met Ari in my mind was to do a new Lady Marmalade. So I go to one of our guys, Rickard Goranson. I was like, can you start a track or something that's very like, think Lady Marmalade.

And I finally felt like I cracked it and it was sort of in our back pocket. And I was like, that'd be interesting. Like if Whitney Houston did break free, you know what I mean? And now we have Ariana Grande and she's just as good a singer. Like, and I played to Ari and she loved it.

And I was like, oh, shit, I'm back, baby. And it created this magic time for all of us, I think, where the universe was just dropping gems into my head in the middle of the night or in the shower. And Santa Tell Me came to me in the shower.

because the average person just listens to a when they're when you know when you have a song in your head you're not you don't have a backing track with it right you're singing it acapella so if it can be things so i always started i came up with this thing because i started realizing when i have these melodies that pop in my head they usually the big the strongest ones when they feel good acapella because like it's sing-alongable you know so i started using that as my sort of trick you know preparing for when artists come in just making sure i have a chorus or something like that
