00:00Behind every hit song.
00:12Behind every hit song.
00:14Every hit song.
00:22It's the person who wrote it.
00:24It's the person who wrote it.
00:25It's the person who wrote it.
00:27You may not know our faces.
00:29But you definitely know our music.
00:31These are the songs people dance to.
00:33They cry to.
00:35And even to.
00:36And definitely to.
00:37May love to.
00:39And even...
00:40My grandma would disown me if I said that.
00:42We've all been through love.
00:44Heartbreak.
00:45And everything in between.
00:47The one thing we do...
00:48Is put all those feelings...
00:50To music.
00:51From Ariana Grande.
00:56To BTS.
00:57To Sabrina Carpenter.
00:58To Justin Bieber.
00:59There's no artist that we haven't written for.
01:06We.
01:07We.
01:08Are hit makers.
01:09Are hit makers.
01:10Are hit makers.
01:11A writers camp is a retreat that is attended by the best songwriters in the music industry.
01:24Putting a camp together like this costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
01:27This isn't just an investment from the label or the artist.
01:31It's an investment for us.
01:33We're leaving our family.
01:34Our friends.
01:35You know.
01:36To be here.
01:37You don't get paid to be at a songwriting camp.
01:38You only get paid if an artist picks your song.
01:41And you get a hit.
01:42These camps can make or break a career.
01:44If you don't write a hit.
01:46You won't be invited by.
01:48I'm just not writing just to write a song.
01:53I'm trying to write a smash every time.
01:58You don't get a good song on the first day.
02:01People start looking at you sideways.
02:03You got six hours to write a hit song.
02:06I don't think I'm nervous.
02:07You know it's cool to get out of LA, New York, Atlanta, go to a secluded place.
02:17You know.
02:18Not to be interrupted by your everyday life.
02:20And just focus on writing music.
02:30It's a competition all the time.
02:32That's so fucking hard.
02:33That's a fucking smash.
02:35Gene.
02:36If you get a hit, your life can change overnight.
02:38We're making money today.
02:40The industry is very cutthroat.
02:42Nine out of ten is not good enough.
02:44There is a lot of pressure.
02:45That, that, that, that's good.
02:46We ain't got no song.
02:48Y'all should have had a better producer.
02:50No matter how many hits you have written, you're only as good as your last song.
02:54Yeah.
02:55He's got a cherry cake.
02:56Oh, my God.
02:57I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, the like, you know.
02:59I'm again, right?
03:00The music is my life.
03:01I want to be the best out of everybody.
03:02You know, I'm like Michael Jordan.
03:04Like, I want the championship.
03:05It's going down like timber, raise the tempo, raise the temper.
03:10Music is my life.
03:11I want to be the best out of everybody.
03:13You know, I'm like Michael Jordan.
03:14Like, I want the championship.
03:16So this is a huge opportunity.
03:18Burn it up in an instant.
03:20They call it luck, but it isn't.
03:22I don't do ego.
03:23So if I feel an ego in a room, I will exit the room
03:26in two seconds like I never was here.
03:28Raise the tempo, raise the temper.
03:30Raise the tempo, raise the tempo, raise the tempo.
03:34I may use lyrics that are racy, but I'm a romantic at heart.
03:38I have no problem settling down.
03:40I just don't want to settle.
03:46My boyfriend and I met writing butter for BTS.
03:49Who knew that it would be the biggest song of our careers?
03:51And we're going to write a bigger one.
03:53Hell yeah, we are.
03:55You almost hit me again, but we'll let it slide.
04:00Out of all these people, I've been doing this the longest.
04:03I got the most hits.
04:04Some people think this is competitive.
04:06But for me, it's no competition.
04:11I'm the only person here that hasn't written a number one hit.
04:15And even though I've been Grammy nominated,
04:18I'm still driving for Uber.
04:23We are the dynamic duo, Noble Wave.
04:25We've been working together for about 15 plus years now.
04:28Just ask Beyonce.
04:29We make hits.
04:30If you know, you know.
04:34I've had great success in country music.
04:36But honestly, this camp is put me a little out of my element.
04:40I'm open to new challenges and I'm confident that I can hang with anybody.
04:43Enjoy your time in the Bahamas, man.
04:45Yes, sir.
05:00Oh, this must be the house right here.
05:01Dang.
05:03We're here in the Bahamas and this is our first writing camp.
05:05We're writing for John Legend.
05:12You know, he's an icon.
05:13He's one of our few living musical legends when it comes to musicians who play, sing, write songs.
05:19And if we can get John to record one of these songs, put it on the album, make it a single, and it becomes a smash,
05:25that's going to be huge for all the songwriters here.
05:30No way.
05:31Look at this.
05:34Yeah, I could write a couple songs here.
05:36When we're in a writing camp, we pretty much always stand on one roof because it just, it allows a different type of camaraderie.
05:42I have no idea what to expect, but everybody is here for a reason and first impressions are a big thing.
05:48So, I just want to come in prepared and professional and do my job and do it well.
05:53Are you in that big bed right by the pool?
05:55Probably.
05:56Oh, boy.
05:57It's like summer camp going to these writing camps, except for I never had any drinks at summer camp and there's a lot of drinks.
06:09I co-wrote the Iggy Azalea song, I'm the Strip Club.
06:12There's no existential meaning to it.
06:14I am the Strip Club is like, my man doesn't need to go out at night because I ride the pool.
06:19I am the lap dance.
06:20My mom's going to watch this.
06:22I don't even think my mom's heard I am the Strip Club.
06:25She will now and that sucks for me, but what a mom thinks is a hit and what I think is a hit may be different things.
06:33Let me get it done with your knee.
06:37You want ice?
06:38Let me get some ice because it's hot outside.
06:41I think the greatest pop album of all time.
06:47Oh, shit.
06:48Here we go.
06:49Katy Perry.
06:50Katy Perry.
06:51I don't know what she was going to say.
06:53Y'all said it at the same time.
06:55Which one, Teenage Dream?
06:56Yeah.
06:57The one that smelled like cotton candy when you opened it.
06:59Yeah, that is the one.
07:00Also, that album defined pop in that era.
07:03It did.
07:04That's true.
07:05It's our turn.
07:06I feel like that Katy Perry album is up there with Thriller.
07:09I don't know about that.
07:14I'm so hungry.
07:15Yes.
07:16Me too.
07:17Ooh.
07:18Wow.
07:21Oh, I see them tails.
07:23Lobster tails.
07:24I am allergic to lobster, sadly.
07:27That's really dark.
07:28Come on, man.
07:29You making me feel bad.
07:30You got the itty bitty plate, man.
07:32What?
07:33No, I got the sampler plate because I'm going back for another wrap.
07:36Oh, OK.
07:37I'm with you.
07:38I'm with John.
07:39I'm like, hold on, man.
07:40I do have a motivating story where I make vision boards every year.
07:43So my 2021 vision board, I have a picture of Beyonce holding a Grammy on her shoulder.
07:50So it's in my prayer closet.
07:52I do the whole thing.
07:53I'm doing it.
07:54I'm doing it.
07:55We're coming off the Renaissance album, and we were able to contribute a lot to that.
07:58And I'm like, oh, it's 2023, and I got a Grammy with her name on it.
08:02And my name.
08:03Wow.
08:04I'm sitting at this table, and I'm looking around, and, like, everyone except for me has
08:10had a number one hit.
08:12So, yeah.
08:13So, yeah.
08:14Odd man out.
08:15Can we submit our own boards in your prayer closet?
08:18Yeah.
08:19I will definitely take boards.
08:20Yeah, can you pray for us in that closet?
08:21Yes.
08:22Tomorrow.
08:23John Legend.
08:24John Legend.
08:25Yeah.
08:26I feel like he's open to ideas.
08:27Mm-hmm.
08:28I really want to tap into my roots a lot.
08:30Growing up in the church, my family, and some of the struggles we had when I was a kid.
08:36But I want to, like, make new music that reflects my artistry and the power of the storytelling,
08:43so that it feels really authentic coming for me.
08:46Amazing.
08:47I can't wait to hear what y'all create.
08:49I can't wait to hear it.
08:51Who's worked with him before?
08:52I've worked with him, right?
08:53Raise your hand if you've worked with him.
08:55Okay.
08:56There we go.
08:57How was that?
08:58Amazing.
08:59Yeah?
09:00Incredible.
09:01Yeah.
09:02I've never worked with or for John Legend, but obviously he's one of the greatest of all time
09:05in our industry, so, you know, he's an EGOT winner, and I myself am, uh, only an EGOT
09:10away from having an EGOT, so, uh, it would mean a lot if we could have something together,
09:14especially a hit.
09:15I like to call him, like, the king of love.
09:17It's been really difficult to find financial success just by solely songwriting.
09:22I do pull up to the table and eat, but I'm just eating McDonald's.
09:26ValuNinia.
09:27I do feel like we have the potential for some, like, pretty unorthodox pairings, too.
09:31Yeah.
09:32Very sure.
09:33Each day, producers and writers will be split into different rooms to write songs.
09:37It's about finding the best combination to create the best songs.
09:40What about you guys?
09:41You're the couple.
09:42Uh...
09:43Do you all only write together?
09:45When I met him, we met on Zoom, and it was, like, instant.
09:48Met on Zoom?
09:49We were working on a song.
09:51We were working on Butter.
09:52Oh, sick.
09:53Amazing.
09:54We didn't even know we were gonna write a song called Butter.
09:56We knew that the idea that they were looking for is smooth criminal.
09:59That was sort of the brief.
10:00And we were just messing with ideas, and it was just, like, smooth like butter.
10:03We won an award at basically every award show in the history of award shows except for the Grammys.
10:08Money doesn't solve your problems, but Grammys do.
10:10Grammys solve problems.
10:11Are you married?
10:13No.
10:14I'm dating, like, two people.
10:17Oh, you're doing that thing?
10:19Well, I'm getting to know, like...
10:20Those poor guys.
10:21Getting to know some people.
10:22I'm not saying you have to sleep with everybody, but you do, I think, you owe it to yourself to, like, kind of get to know a couple of different vibes.
10:29Yeah, for sure.
10:30So, you know.
10:31So, a little disclaimer that I do give the men that I date.
10:34At some point, I'm gonna write a song about you, okay?
10:37But here's the beautiful part.
10:38You get to determine what that song is about.
10:40So, if you bring me love and butterflies, I'm gonna write the most beautiful song about you.
10:45But if you do some fucked up ass shit, I'm just gonna have to write a fuck you record.
10:50Change doesn't scare me, but settling does.
10:53And it takes a long time to get to know somebody.
10:55It takes time.
10:56It takes, like, two years to really get to know somebody.
10:59You know what I mean.
11:00And given what we do, like, because, like, it's hard.
11:03Is it better because your wife's in the industry as well?
11:05That's the only way I would be married right now in my life.
11:08I'm not dating till I get married.
11:10There you go.
11:11Tommy!
11:12You gotta date to get married, though.
11:14It all depends on what country you in.
11:16I'm waiting for somebody to arrange some.
11:18Me and Tommy has never, like, worked together.
11:23Like, he's always been somebody that I admired and, like, watched his career.
11:27And I think he would say the same thing, and it's a mutual respect.
11:30The only difference between, you know, me and Tommy is, like, I'm happily married and he's still single.
11:35So, he's still living the Playboy life.
11:37Yeah, I just don't want to air him out like that.
11:40But...
11:43I'm excited for it tomorrow.
11:45We're gonna go crazy.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Let's go.
11:48All right.
11:49Hit Makers on three.
11:50Let's go.
11:51Let's go.
11:52Let's go with that ass.
11:53Hit Makers!

12:00Do we know what car can?
12:01Yeah.
12:02Yeah, you get in the first one.
12:03In the back.
12:04Uh-oh.
12:05Do we trust her?
12:06We trust, we trust her.
12:07Woo!

12:23Yo, look at this.
12:24This is great.
12:25Take off.
12:26Take off.
12:27So, Sanctuary is a state-of-the-art recording studio, and every A-list artist has gone there,
12:32from Drake, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, and I've been there a few times
12:37with Justin Bieber.
12:38Take off.
12:39Take off.
12:40Three, two, one, go.
12:42Uh, yeah.
12:44Uh-huh.
12:45Take off.
12:46Here we go.
12:47Uh-huh.
12:48Yeah.
12:49Uh-huh.
12:50Yeah.
12:51Take off.
12:52Yeah, this will be fun.
12:53All right.
12:54Let's go.
12:55Let's go.
12:56Ooh.
12:57Today, I'm writing with Jenna and Nova Wave.
12:59We got six hours to write a hit song, um, for John Legend.
13:04I don't think I'm nervous.
13:05I think I'm...
13:06I think I'm just ready.
13:07I'm ready to go.
13:08I'm ready to write.
13:09We're all in here.
13:11Vibes.
13:12All right.
13:13Let's fucking go.
13:14I'm getting paired with Tommy and Seven.
13:16I'm pretty nervous.
13:17You know, I'm a fan of Tommy's.
13:19And then he produced Seven Rings by Ariana Grande.
13:22And I really want to show them that I can hold my own in R&B.
13:25I want him to know, you know, who I am afterwards, but also respect me as a writer.
13:29Hey.
13:30Oh, wow.
13:31Hey.
13:32This setup is crazy.
13:33Oh, this setup.
13:34Nice.
13:35Wow.
13:36Did we get the best room?
13:37I think we did.
13:38I'm in a room with Trey and Whitney for the first writing day.
13:41So we all have limited time to write a song.
13:44And at the end of the day, we have to play the song that we wrote for each other at the listening party.
13:49You know, listening parties can be stressful because there's nothing worse than hitting play on a whack song in front of your peers.
13:56Hey.
13:57I'm Rich.
13:58Hi, Rich.
13:59I'm going to be helping you in this room a bit.
14:00Rich, I'm a hugger.
14:01Nice to meet you.
14:02Rich, so I'm going to ask you a very unorthodox question, right?
14:04Yeah, go ahead.
14:05That I'm pretty sure a lot of creators ask when they come into this room.
14:09Do you know where I can get some weed?
14:12Have you worked out here before?
14:13Yeah, I have.
14:14I have.
14:15With Justin Bieber.
14:16We come here all the time.
14:17Hey, so it's got some good energy.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Stay for weeks.
14:20Jam out.
14:21Write songs.
14:22I'm so excited for this first session.
14:24Me and Whitney go way back, and Harv is such an insane producer as well.
14:29So I know we are, like, set up for success.
14:32We're going to write the number one hit today.
14:34I have this idea.
14:37It's the tempo.
14:39Okay.
14:40When you go to a camp, we can be all friends.
14:42But when we go in them rooms, we're competing with A and B, C.
14:47We're all competing to have that record.
14:50Like, I want to win.
14:56Set.
14:57Great.
14:58Okay, so I, sometimes I get, like, haunted by words.
15:01Simple, but the word strawberry.
15:03Strawberry?
15:04Strawberry.
15:05It was on my brain this morning.
15:06Okay.
15:07And I was like, like her aftertaste is like strawberry or sweet like strawberry or something.
15:11Just like something summer and fresh and, like, sexy.
15:14The only issue, I hate saying this, is, um, he has a song called Strawberry Blush in the last album.
15:21On his project?
15:22Yeah.
15:23Well then, no.
15:24Yeah.
15:25What if it's like, not strawberry, but some other type of fruit?
15:30Cherries.
15:31Mm-hmm.
15:32Cherries instead.
15:34You know, what's it a metaphor for other than?
15:38It'd be cool to do, like, an Adele up-tempo song.
15:41Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:43You know what I'm saying?
15:48Oh.
15:49Oh, that's cool.
15:50That's cool.
15:51That's cool.
15:52Like with those little moves?
15:53I've never worked with Seven or Tommy.
16:06Um, I know who both of them are just through their work and having written global worldwide
16:11smashes, but I don't have any expectation that they know who I am.
16:15I have no idea who Ben is.
16:18What are all the ways that you can rescue somebody?
16:21Like, I can save you from heartbreak, save you from tears.
16:24I'm always trying to push and put a little bit of dirt on top of it, give it a little
16:30bit of vibe.
16:31Even if it is just in a tone or the way that we deliver a lyric so that when he hears it,
16:36he's like, hmm, I wouldn't have normally sat there like that.
16:39Let me try it.
16:42A sexy song might be the vibes.
16:44It could be something like, take it all off in the sense of, like, free yourself.
16:48Be vulnerable around me.
16:49Okay.
16:50But still make it sexy.
16:51Yeah.
16:52Cause that piano thing that you had from the other day was really cool, but I don't know
16:56if that works.
16:57Well, I'm thinking like...
16:58You can play it though.
16:59And we can sing.
17:00Yeah.
17:01I'm personally used to driving sessions.
17:03I'm personally usually the one that walks in and I'm like setting the tempo number one.
17:09But I'm always trying to figure out what kind of value can you give me and so that I can
17:14multiply that whenever, you know...
17:16Yeah, when we get set up.
17:17I'm a producer and it's usually been my show.
17:22So when I walk in, I'm trying to show Nova Wave, I'm on it.
17:26You know what I'm saying?
17:27She keep it cherry sweet.
17:28Like...
17:29Like the first time that she first saw me.
17:30Woo!
17:31So it's like the first time every single time.
17:32We're re-popping.
17:33It might look like we're texting, but like, I have a list of titles, lyrics and concepts,
17:54all my precious thoughts.
17:56This is everything.
17:57I mean, this is my whole life.
17:59It's my whole world.
18:00It's right here, babe.
18:01So I can't lose my bump.
18:03I just realized he wrote Peaches and now we're writing Cherry.
18:07I hope that's okay.
18:09No, I love that.
18:10Come on.
18:11We're getting all the fruits, okay?
18:12Fruit a little.
18:13We saw what Peaches did, so...
18:14I'm sorry.
18:15Let's just do that.
18:16Yeah.
18:17Yeah.
18:23A little dirt on it.
18:24Yes.
18:25Oh, oh.
18:26Yeah.
18:27And then we like, listen.
18:29Pick you up.
18:30Oh, oh, that's cool.
18:31Let you down.
18:32That's cool.
18:33Kiss your body.
18:34Make it smile.
18:35Ooh.
18:36And then...
18:37Woo!
18:38Come on now.
18:39Na, na, na, na.
18:40Baby, I'll come through and rescue you.
18:42Woo!
18:43Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:44Okay.
18:45What if you call it rescue?
18:46Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
18:47And it's like...
18:48Oh, I will rescue you.
18:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:51When the band band through, baby, I'll come through till I'm next to you.
18:55Yeah.
18:56Yeah.
18:57That's a bad country boy right there.
18:59And we all left our egos outside.
19:01So...
19:02Only great things can happen from there.
19:05Yeah.
19:06Um, do we know where the engineer is?
19:11What is happening?
19:14It is not reading this keyboard.
19:18Doesn't that make any sense?
19:20It's not reading it.
19:22It's not seeing it.
19:23It's so weird.
19:24What the fuck is going on right now of all times?
19:27Like, technical issues galore.
19:29I mean, we are...
19:30We're down bad.
19:31I'm so confused about what's happening right now.
19:33Yeah, it's like I'm not even seeing it now.
19:35I'm a bit frustrated because I just feel that the caliber that we're at now as creatives,
19:41we should be able to work through anything, so let's figure it out.
19:47I love it.
19:48I wanna see the way you look when you're looking at me.
19:53That's hook.
19:54That's so simple.
19:55Are you down to cut it?
19:56Or who should cut it?
19:57I feel like my voice is too breathy.
19:58I'll cut it.
19:59It's fine.
20:00You're cool?
20:01Yeah.
20:02So Blue's gonna cut the song, which means that she's gonna sing the demo to play to John Legend.
20:04And hopefully while she's doing this, Steven can work out the whole technical thing.
20:08I think I gotta get some Hennessy.
20:10God.
20:11Things have not gone well at all.
20:13I can't get anything to work.
20:15Or fucked.
20:23There's bad energy in her house.
20:24Yeah.
20:25Oh.
20:26Golly.
20:27He's gonna beat his heart.
20:28I mean, it's crazy.
20:29Almost ready, guys.
20:30So what's going on with you?
20:31I hear you're...
20:32Oh, no.
20:33...recently betrothed.
20:34Ah!
20:35Betrothed.
20:36He's a sweet boy.
20:37I'm gonna do a couple.
20:38I don't think I've been treated this well in a while.
20:41And, like, willing to be treated this well in a while.
20:43We're making it work.
20:44I mean, it's long distance.
20:45He's in North Carolina.
20:46But it's an hour away, so it's not bad.
20:47Yeah, for sure.
20:48But it's cute right now.
20:49It's like...
20:50It's like...
20:51It's like...
20:52It's like...
20:53It's like...
20:54It's like...
20:55It's like...
20:56It's like...
20:57It's like...
20:58It's like...
20:59It's like...
21:00It's like...
21:01It's like...
21:02But it's cute right now.
21:03It's like...
21:04You know, the first six months, so...
21:05I know.
21:06It's...
21:07It's cute and sweet.
21:08It's cherry sweet.
21:09Yeah!
21:10You deserve that, though.
21:11Truly.
21:12Thank you, babe.
21:13I'm a die-hard romantic.
21:15I'm a very passionate person.
21:16And for me to even be in a relationship,
21:19I usually have my whole heart in it.
21:21So...
21:22A hundred percent.
21:23The freshness and excitement of my new relationship
21:26is kind of being infused a little bit
21:28in some of the lyrics that we're writing.
21:30I will say Jenna did drop my computer in the airport.
21:33You did drop my computer in the airport.
21:34What does that mean?
21:35I'm just saying, you did drop it.
21:40Is this really my fault?
21:41Oh, yeah.
21:42It could be your fault.
21:43I'm not gonna lie.
21:44I was like, babe, hold this for one second
21:45while I get this checked in.
21:46Not even a second.
21:47It happens.
21:48It happens.
21:49I technically haven't used it since then.
21:50I was using it the day before.
21:51Okay, but like...
21:53Let's just hope.
21:55I will rescue you.
21:58I'm the best with you.
22:00I'm the best with you.
22:01Yeah, we need one more right there.
22:03That's perfect.
22:04I want somebody to say that.
22:05Like, you feel me?
22:06Like, I'm my best with you.
22:08Like...
22:10Oh, my God.
22:11I'm not supposed to make music in here.
22:12I can't even make music.
22:14We should just test it when we get back to the place
22:16or something.
22:17We have time to, like, figure out if it's actually...
22:19No, I gotta get it working in there.
22:20It has to be...
22:21It has to start working in there.
22:23Like, if it doesn't work in there, then...
22:25I mean, what are we gonna do?
22:39Steven, you got, like, three, four, five, six seconds
22:42to get your computer working,
22:43because if not, we gotta scoot you out of the driver's seat.
22:50This is what we're going to do.
22:51I just sayin' you twice is a little funky.
22:52So say yee.
22:53Yee never got it.
22:54Yee never got it.
22:55Yee never got it.
22:56Yee never got it.
22:57Yee never got it.
22:58Yee never got it.
22:59Yee never got it.
23:00Yee never got it.
23:01Yee never got it.
23:02Yee never got it.
23:03Yee never got it.
23:04Yee never got it.
23:05Yee, put that sauce on it.
23:06That's me too.
23:07You feel me?
23:11Like, I can't do anything...
23:12I'm nervous, because I'm like, you know...
23:14We ain't got no song.
23:15Yeah, we don't.
23:16At this point, we don't have a song.
23:17don't have a song so if we don't have a song at the listening party like we bummed out i mean we
23:21are no way like we can't walk in and not have a record done biggest bend the biggest pin that
23:29should be your production name the biggest bend's pretty good terry's so sweet dripping on me
23:36what am i doing one more time she's what i need she really
23:47if they're coming right okay one more time when you're in the room with someone like harv who is
23:53so incredibly impressive at everything i'm coming into this being like oh i gotta show the
23:59out can you do it faster like uh okay let's keep it straight let's keep it straight and then instead
24:07of she give me that she give me that is that not what i'm saying you always want to go with the
24:11vocalist that's going to sell the record and um appeal to john the most and i can tell that trey
24:18feels a little unsettled but pressure is the name of the game
24:32oh my god i feel like i'm in my gospel car with all my cousins when i was like 14 years old
24:36wow there we go it is working thank you bro thank you god we're going somewhere
24:53sometimes i just want to say i love you but there's something about when you say
24:59that sounded sick the only problem i don't love the end yeah yeah yeah we got to find a better
25:04resolve i just didn't know what it should be because it needs to be more words more words
25:10lucky heaven heaven or you can say you're my heaven 11 11. that's dope 11 11 is fire i knew my
25:21man would come through do not underestimate the power of stephen 11 11 my heaven no
25:28oh oh does they need to do something like that no no no wait no
25:41we only got 10 minutes
25:50first time i love it let me see if i can beat this one clap though i'm feeling great i mean
25:56i feel confident what we did i feel like we all love it
26:02two more lines yeah all right we're making money today you have to go in knowing that you in this
26:10moment are the greatest in the world and you do what you do and will you win every time no but you
26:15should believe that you can win every time all right time's up let's go we got it i think it's
26:22gonna be good i think we've nailed like this cool gospel sound which is everything john legend asked
26:29for but at the same time i know that every single one of these rooms has people who have the ability
26:35to write a song just as good if not better
26:44to survive hey this is a boy i have to go in and sit here okay let's sit on the floor
26:50sit right here yo he always be sitting on the floor
26:52let me get some of that let me get some of that let me get some of that damn yes ma'am
27:01yeah so i'll play it straight from that ass i want to clap
27:14oh i like this energy
27:20she's finding new ways of stopping time when seasons change i'm still on the fine
27:26she's dangerous she's dangerous when she's on my tongue when i taste enough
27:36she knows i think it'll be so sweet dripping on me she let me down in the summer here
27:44every night she's what i need she give me the first time in a dream
27:51i'll drink a smoke like a fine wine she gets better after midnight cherry salt sweet
28:03feels like evolved yeah yeah still still him quintessential john yep yep
28:08i love how you had that one harmony only like it was just that one harmony sweet
28:26and i just like that bridge got me i was like oh my gosh my goosebumps right no yeah it just felt good
28:32to write it i think that's a good sign if you feel good about it like it's probably going to be
28:37received well cherry so sweet so good i think cherry for me it's too conceptual i love songs that
28:49are conversational and i don't think i would go and talk to somebody i'm trying to date and say
28:56cherry so sweet i think john legend could pull it off but i think john legend would also change lyrics
29:03it's another way steven and jenna y'all yeah i gotta hook up to the art yeah all right here we go
29:15i'm looking for your answers that i don't know
29:31sometimes i just want to say i love you but there's something about when you say oh but when you say i
29:42i like that better but when you say somehow you just find a way to find a way to break me out of my way
29:53i want to see the way you look when you're looking at me
30:07i know for sure and when you don't even know what you're worth looking seven eleven eleven my heaven
30:17on earth

30:23heaven and earth even like when you don't feel strong you're still my strength like oh i love that
30:27you're so pretty insane 11 11 my heaven on earth hey obsessed good job i mean listen we struggled all
30:41day long because we were fighting the devil i will say though to to be in a session where like think
30:47like a hundred things go wrong and like crazy things like being with you two and like getting
30:51to just like work i work with you all the time so i basically i basically can barely stand you but
30:55being in there like if this was just me and her i would have burned the whole studio down but being
30:59with y'all and just like while we're figuring things out just talking through things it was a
31:03blessing for me so this computer's like they got a mind of their own but you know we made it happen
31:09it was a blessing for sure the trick was the struggle story y'all set me up i know y'all set me up
31:14i don't know what we were i see y'all scheming last but not least we've got tommy seven and beth the
31:21biggest bit the biggest that's the new name as of as of today
