I may be doing the same form as Steph Curry, but that doesn’t mean my jump shot is as wet. I do believe there is a basis for a hit, but just because you go by that doesn’t mean your song is good. It’s pretty much the Max Martin school of songwriting - even though I’m not a part of his camp, I really live and die by those sets of Swedish songwriting elements: a specific amount of bars for a verse, a specific amount of bars for a pre-hook, a hook, maybe a post-hook.

I continue to write songs like I’ve always written songs, and that’s having a format. There’s a very free-form style that’s pretty popping in urban music these days, but I just don’t come from that school. But finding that defining ingredient is the main goal. “Want To Want Me” started with the lyric. Sometimes it can start off with a concept, and the concept leads the entire way. I’m constantly on the prowl for something that stands out, whether it’s a horn sound or a really interesting drum pattern - just something that feels left of center and special.
