But I remember being in the birthing suite going, this is how bad I was, by the way. Like I was in the birthing suite looking at chart numbers, you know, or waiting for the text coming, did we get number one? Rather than focusing on my kid. But it was, yeah, it was fun.

You know, we were so used to before working with Ariana, like I was used to like sort of manufactured boy bands and all these kind of things.

But to have like a very it was the first time working with a very artist driven project, if you know what I mean. I mean, Ariana was like what became that as well.

Sam Smith one was great. Sam, again, loveliest human, so talented. I remember I wasn't even sure if I was going to do that session because I felt like I didn't have any ideas. I had never, I hadn't really met him before. So I felt, I always sometimes felt like I have to come with an idea. And my wife knew I loved the show, This Is Us. And it was a Wednesday when I was working with Sam.

So I watched this episode of This Is Us.
