When I was watching the video and thinking about the songwriters - I wrote the song with Trina Broussard and Trey Lorenz - and since it sampled Luther Vandross it had three or four other people’s names on there as writers. We had a sound going for Aretha and we came together and started writing the song. That process is pretty much the same every time, unless get I get the urge to write the entire song, and then the songs first flow out of me completely and then I don’t give no one else the chance to write on the song. Other times I’ll come up with a concept - I’m big on the hooks - and I’ll start writing a hook and if I write the hook it automatically gives someone a chance to understand what they want to say in the verse. So if I’m collaborating, I understand my role and understand the slow process in the studio. The slow process in the studio is cooperative thinking, not thinking necessarily that the first thing that comes to your mind is the song. Your hit “You Make Me Wanna,” another Usher hit, is another big collaboration.įor that song, I felt like Usher had just come off working with Devante and Jodeci on his first album, and felt like I was trying to make a ballad type of mid-tempo record. I thought, this seems comfortable for this artist and I should try to make the coolest slow record we could possibly make. Once we had the guitar parts and the beat, what was the coolest thing I could say in a slow song that would make it sound romantic, kind of, but at the same time, cool. It was coming out faster than I could get it on tape, just spewing out of my mouth. I thought, I need to hurry up and do this. Usually when I’m working with an artist like Usher, I just do the first hook and the first verse and won’t do more than that. Usher considers it to be one of his most personal albums behind Here I Stand.Then if the artist doesn’t like the song, I haven’t wasted my time doing a whole song.
