You know, there's very few things that cut through. There's very few iconic new photographs, right? But I believe that if the bar is set when you're creating, that the world doesn't need just another good song. The world needs something that they need. You know, it has to be something game changing.

So I encourage new writers and producers to be creative and to push boundaries and to think of that. Think of like, does the world need this song? Or is this just like, eh, it's a good song. There's 140,000 songs released on Spotify every day. That's crazy.

And when you're writing, like you're competing against every other song ever written because we all have access to it on the same technology, right? So old songs don't feel old to kids now because it's on the same technology. Like my kids came from school the other few months back and they're like, oh my God, Papa, have you heard this new song called Mama Said Knock You Out? You know what I mean?

When I was in Sweden during like the early days, this is like 2008-ish, sort of towards the end of the Bush or early Obama administration, you know, Sweden took in the most, more Iraqis than America did after America bombed Iraq. Wow. And I was, all the cab drivers were a lot of Iraqis, you know. And I was in this cab and this guy goes, oh, where are you from?

And I said, I'm from, forgive my accent, I'm from America. He said, where are you from? He's like, I'm from Iraq. I was like, oh. He says, yes, I, you know, I moved here with my son, my young son, my nephew. I lived in a village with my wife and two boys. America bombed my village.

We had no terrorists in our village, but America bombed the village, and I lost my oldest son and my wife, and Sweden took us in. I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. And he was like, I was a doctor in Iraq, but now I drive cabs. But he was like a jolly guy. I was like, I'm so sorry, man.

So how does like someone like you or your son, how do you grow up not hating America and like and having like bitterness towards someone like me? Because I was from Texas, you know. And he goes, music. And I go, what do you mean? And he goes, it's hard to hate people that make something you love. And that really sticks with me, right? Is that music still matters.
