He continued to produce it and he did a really great job. That’s the great thing about working with someone with so much experience and such a personal stamp. We immediately said to each other that we wanted to sit in the middle: both of us had to have something in it. He wanted the song to feel as good to me as it did to him, and vice versa. ”
