Love Somebody is another song that I wrote with Tedder.
It was really interesting, actually.
This has a great story,
because Ryan Tedder sent me this idea
that was just an instrumental with no melodic idea yet,
and just a vibe, just a track.
And I heard it,
I'll never forget when I heard it,
because I was in New York,
and I thought to myself,
wow, this is so special.
I cannot wait to get my hands on this.
And I told him how excited I was.
Ryan and I, when we write,
we feed off of each other's frantic energy in the studio,
and we have a really good rapport.
That song was really special for me,
because it was a very pure songwriting collaboration
in that he wrote the verse and the pre-chorus melody,
and I went in and wrote the chorus
melody and the little post-tag thing.
And it was just one of those,
you take this,
I'll
take that, perfect.
It was this great
synergistic situation.
And I'm very, very, very excited
about that song.
It's another one of my favorites.
And the band killed it, and we added the band
element, and it really helped move it along.
