Yippie yippie ki yay
If you're swingin' this way
Tell me if you wanna play
Cowboy, all you have to say
Yippie yippie ki yay
If you're swingin' this way
Cowgirl, show 'em how we play
Well, that's all you had to say
We turnin' up, so live it up
Like it's your time today
See… Oh, here we go. All right, okay.
Whoo!
-Oh! Not good.
-What?
Hi, Whitney.
Hi, babe. Oh my God, who is this?
This is Juju. Did you give her her bone?
-Yeah.
-That was so scary.
Nashville, to me,
is the best city in the world.
It's Music City, come on.
I mean, literally,
the whole city is built around music.
There's nowhere else like it.
I've lived there for years now.
Uh, I make my bread and butter there,
if you will.
I invited the local Nashville folks
over to our house.
Oh, well, just let yourself in,
why don't ya?
Are we supposed to knock?
-Hey, you look cool, as usual.
-Hi! Nice to meet you.
I want to suss out how everyone's
feeling about this upcoming week,
because it's going to be
very different from Bahamas.
-Oh my gosh, nice to meet you.
-Whit!
-Whit, Whit, Whit, Whit…
-It's Mom and Dad.
-Is this a caution tape?
-Look at the back.
-Oh, all right, okay.
-Nice.
-Fun.
-Yeah.
Coming into the Nashville camp,
I'm not sure where me and Whitney
stand right now, to be honest,
and I really respect her, obviously,
as a songwriter and as a person,
but I think energetically,
it's hard to know if we click,
and it's hard to know
where our vibe is gonna go.
If you love the food, I made it.
If you hate it, Whole Foods made it.
Whitney, I think you've been here
the least amount of time out of everybody.
-Not even quite a year.
-Yeah.
How has the community embraced you
on the country side of things?
You know, I feel like I'm still
earning my stripes here.
It's a totally different set of stripes
than in LA.
How do y'all feel about the new people?
J called me today,
and he's, like, so excited.
I feel like JHart's about to ruin
the vibe for everybody.
-You're feeling the heat?
-Yeah.
Record labels a lot of times
will change camps up,
just depending on the artist,
to bring in new vibes.
You know, we got a good thing going
with the crew we had in Bahamas.
It felt like we started hitting our stride
in the middle of that,
and so having new writers come in,
you know, is tricky.
It could give us, like,
a little more wind in our sails,
or it could be, you know,
kind of disruptive.
What about Ferras?
Ferras? Who is Ferras?
Woah.
-I keep seeing…
-What's your beef with Ferras?
I don't have beef. I don't know who he is,
so I was curious. Tell me about him.
I mean, he's a great writer,
and he's really involved in the room.
-Cool.
-And he's super funny.
It's gonna be so fun.
-I'm excited for them.
-Yeah.
Ferras and I,
we have a lot of good friends,
but we've never met or worked together.
And again, I'm a huge energy person,
and I feel like sometimes you can feel
someone's energy before you even see them.
And JHart, I've worked with one time
and known him forever.
He's so unique,
so fashionable, and so sweet.
He's, like, basically like family to me.
What if one of them came as a saboteur?
And they were just there…
Yes. Every idea you bring up, like,
"That's terrible."
-"No."
-"I hate that."
Start a fire, start a fire
Well, howdy, partner.
Yo, yo!
What's up, buddy? Good to see you.
-What's up, man?
-Good to see you.
-What's up?
-What's going on?
Welcome to Nashville.
-What's your name?
-Harv.
-Hi!
-How are you?
Harv, I have you in the cabin.
Here's your key.
And you're in Nashville.
You gotta pick out a cowboy hat to wear.
Is there a specific way
I should wear this? Like, forward?
The tag goes in the back.
You know, that makes sense.
In this camp,
we are writing for Shaboozey.
I'm really excited.
For one, I think that he's fly.
I think that he knows who he is.
And I think he's needed.
When I think of Shaboozey,
I think that his story is so important.
And he's cute.
So, you know, that helps too.
Wait, we're missing people.
My name is James Abrahart,
but everyone calls me JHart.
I'm a songwriter.
I'm a producer. I'm a singer.
I'm a fashion icon.
We love it.
My name is Ferras, and I am a songwriter.
I have been in the industry
since I was probably .
And how old are you now?
You never ask a lady her age.
-Hi, welcome. How are you?
-How's it going?
-Good, how are you?
-Good. JHart?
That's me.
Yo!
You!
First of all, you wrote one of
my favorite songs of all time.
-Usher.
-"Kissing Strangers."
I've written for Justin Bieber, Usher,
Keith Urban, Camila Cabello,
Cher, TLC, Kygo, Troye Sivan.
Did I say Cher?
Okay, making sure you heard that.
-What's your name?
-Ferras.
Ferras, welcome. There's that key for you.
In the watchtower, ooh.
One of our quintessential rooms.
It'd better be.
I've written songs for Katy Perry,
Dua Lipa, Ricky Martin,
Jonas Brothers, Adam Lambert,
and, uh, I'm excited to shake things up
here in Nashville.
-Hey, how are you?
-Good, how are you?
-Hi, J.
-I love the hair. The color, it's so cute.
We have new energy coming
into the camp now.
It's like we just don't want the vibe
to change too much.
We don't really know
what to look forward to.
Yeah, and it's a reminder that
in the industry, you're never safe.
You know, there's always someone
coming for your position,
so it's a little bit of fire, for sure.
Hi.
You know this fella?
-No.
-I don't either.
-I'm Ben.
-I'm Ferras.
-I love the shirt.
-Thanks.
That looks like you're ready
to wrangle some horses.
Are these gluten-free?
What kind of establishment is this?
-Good to see you.
-Hi!
-So glad you're here.
-I know, same.
Dude, it's gonna be fun.
Are we going out tonight?
I'm looking forward to
being outside in Nashville.
I need to go… I need to change.
-Can we do group cheers?
-Are you messing with me?
-Cheers, everybody.
-Welcome to Nashville.
-Cheers!
-Welcome JHart and Ferras.
I'll be honest.
Selfishly, this is the part of the trip
I have been looking towards the most.
Um, I'm a country girl,
and tonight, we gon' dance a little bit.
We gon' hear some good songs,
and we get a little brain break,
so that when we go up to the studio,
it's gon' pay off.
Brain breaks are great for us.
Shake your tail feathers
Drop 'em down low
Grab your partner
Swing 'em around
Now swing 'em right back
For another round
Everybody, just stomp your feet
Clap your hands like , ,
I said clap your hands like , ,
It's a brand-new dance just follow me
Grab your horse
It's bam, bam, bam.
You want tequila shots?
We're all doing a shot, so tequilas.
I got your shots.
Do you have, like, a better tequila?
-Everybody got a shot?
-Yup.
-Always up. Never down.
-Never down.
Spread the money all around.
Are you loving it?
It's Saturday night
in Nashville, Tennessee,
and you're in a bar,
drinking, dancing, having a good time.
Whoo!
Do we have any line dancers out there?
Come on, I know you're out there.
Come get your butts on this floor.
Oh my God, let's go.
Get on your horse and ride
I got me
Yeah, I got me
Don't need you anymore
I got me
Thank y'all for filling up
that dance floor. We love it.
Go, Tommy, go.
Nicely done, you guys.
It's Tequila Cowboy. I'm in my boot,
and if I gotta hobble and do a line dance,
I'm gonna hobble and do a line dance.
My doctor could get mad later. It's okay.
-Whoo!
-Nicely done, Tequila Cowboy.
Let's go, man.
Down for Nashville, down for line dancing,
down for a chicken wing,
down for a beverage,
maybe not beer, but we'll see. Let's go.
I don't line dance.
I got me
Don't need you anymore
I got me
A mess. My hair is still drunk.
Morning.
-Morning.
-Hello!
How'd everyone sleep?
-Really good.
-Good.
I'm such a dainty girl
with my dainty fruit.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-How are you?
-I'm good.
What's up, boo?
Hi, everybody.
I woked up, I smoked a J, I listened to
some Shaboozey this morning. It was nice.
It's a hoedown, it's a showdown.
Let's go.
Good morning! Good morning! Good morning!
How you feelin'?
Feel greater than ever.
All right, so the vans are here, y'all.
Let's do what we gotta do.
Let's go k*ll it today. The Nashville way.
-For Shaboozey.
-Period.
-Oh, I'm excited.
-It's gonna be lit.
Man, today's gonna be so much fun.
You wanted a look change, baby?
I'm gonna give you a look change.
Work it.
-Nashville, here we go.
-I love it.
Oh my. Ooh, I'm hot now.
Do you ever feel the bite?
Today, we're working at the Hutton Hotel.
I'm excited,
it's a really cool spot in Nashville.
Huge country artists
have written and performed here.
They're known for their analog room
where songwriters come
to showcase their work.
How'd y'all sleep?
I slept great in my own bed,
I'm not gonna lie.
Don't close your eyes
When it's fright day
Ooh!
Oh my God. This is fire.
-This is cute.
-This is so cute.
All right, let's go.
Let's have a good time.
This is a club?
Yeah, this is like a little joint.
Ready to get it today?
-Yeah.
-So excited.
How do we feel about
writing for Mr. Boozey?
-Man, great.
-I'm excited.
We gon' get it.
It's fire 'cause he's having a moment.
Oh man, perfect timing.
The biggest song in the s,
I think, country hit record.
I think it's the biggest ever
in country genre.
-Wow.
-Yeah, on Billboard.
I prepped a lot.
I watched a lot of interviews of him.
-Did you really?
-Yeah.
He was definitely
dropping some bars in interviews.
Yeah? What did you pick up?
You'll find out if you're in my room.
Get in my room and find out.
Let's go.
-Yeah, let's go.
-Time to make a number one.
Time to make a number one.
-Hey.
-Ooh.
-Come on.
-We'll write a country song here.
Straight up.
Today, I'm working with
Ben, Whitney, and JHart.
This is JHart's first time being in a camp
and my first time working with him,
so I'm excited to get in a room with him
and see his creative process.
Of course, Ben's my guy,
and Whitney, we did "Cherry" together,
so we already know our stats is good,
so I'm super excited.
I feel like we can't lose today.
-How's it going, guys?
-Hey, man. How are you?
Trey, I've worked with before,
um, a couple times,
and my first impressions
of Stephen and Jenna…
I mean, Jenna is,
like, very glam and very…
kind of just everything
that you expect her to be,
and Stephen has a lot of energy.
-How you guys doing?
-What's up?
Yo.
Me, Tommy, and Nova Wav,
it'll be a good kiki. We can't help it.
We gon' laugh the entire time.
We gon' crack some jokes on each other
and write something relatable,
and I'm really looking forward to that.
-Okay, let's get cracking.
-Yeah.
-So…
-Oh, can we get a coffee?
-We don't need coffee. We need to work.
-Okay.
-Wow.
-I'll be on a whiskey vibe today.
Yeah. Crack it open, I'm with y'all.
The whiskey's cute and warm.
-That's it?
-That's it.
-What you on?
-You know what I'm on.
-What you on?
-You know what type of time it is.
What type of time you on?
Right there. I got a idea.
-Okay. All right.
-I think we should do it.
What's the biggest country birthday song?
Oh, that's fun.
Yeah.
-Cheers.
-Cheers. That's great.
Today, my computer is Jenna-proofed.
I have extra protection for the cables,
the laptop, and the hard drives.
So there will be no dropping
of my computer today.
So here's the perspective
I think could be pretty cool.
I think for girls, there's more support
for anxiety than for men.
Because if a man,
like in a social atmosphere, has anxiety,
if you were to be out and you're like,
"I'm having anxiety,"
it's harder to be accepted
and it's more scary as a man.
Even though… do you know what I'm saying?
I literally don't.
Her mouth is moving,
and I've no idea what's coming out of it.
So I have a song idea
called "My Side of Midnight."
It's like, this is how you get
these kinds of guys to fall in love,
is that when you don't care
and you're one of these girls that…
-…just plays with him…
-She's one of them girls.
We're not saying that she's a h*,
but just kind of like…
-Oh, she's a h*.
-No, but I think it's more empowering.
-She's just…
-It's an empowering thing.
It's not like…
-Right.
-Yeah, yeah.
As I learned in the Bahamas,
the passage of time at this camp,
in particular, moves very fast.
So there's certainly a fire
underneath everyone here.
Especially me. But I feel confident.
I feel like we're gonna get it.
If you want to get super emo on it,
it's like you're saying
cowboys need love too.
But imagine if a man is having
a mental br-- or something like…
There's a lot of pressure on a guy.
My brain actually feels like
it's absolutely being injected
with, like, cyanide right now
from talking about this concept.
What does that mean?
It means, like, I feel brain-dead
over this concept, personally.
f*ck, I mean, that's f*cked up.
For some reason,
it's not, like, gelling for me.
Maybe it's just because
I'm a blatant h*m*
and I don't have these problems.
Men are like this,
and women are like that.
You know, perhaps that's why
it's uninteresting to me,
but I have, you know…
It's just like, how long can we go
on and on and on about this?
You know what's funny?
I'm about to hit
one of them big birthdays…
-What birthday is it?
-I don't wanna talk about it.
-Okay.
-What birthday is it? We gotta know.
It's in between the feeling of,
"Damn, is you old?"
"Or is you just seasoned?"
It's that weird number
where it's like, uh…
I've never written a birthday song
because birthday songs can be
kind of cheesy if you don't do it right.
I was also, kind of this year,
feeling a bit down for some reason.
It's just like, I'm getting older,
and, you know, just life stuff.
But I'm like,
"Hey, let's write a great song."
And if I put the right energy into it,
then others should to feel it too.
All right, I feel like we gotta,
you know, figure out a tempo.
One-twenty.
Hmm. That was interesting.
I have, like, this concept,
"Country, country."
Oh wow.
Talking about being country,
but not necessarily having the look.
Oh, I like that.
We're used to seeing, to be blatant,
a white face in country.
And like, he's a Black man
that's f*cking crushing it in country.
And it could be cool being like,
"Yo, don't get it twisted.
I'm country, country."
All right, so this is what I have so far.
What do you think? This, or…?
Oh!
I love this.
Feels different on another year…
It's another…
It's another year
-Lick back, lick back
-Tenfold
-I'mma get my lick back
-Did we record this?
Baby, you got a sweet, sweet, ooh wee…
Keep that. I'mma start over.
Are we all on the same vibe?
Whoo!
"Wild girls know where the wild ones are,
and she knows I live a couple houses down
from her favorite bar."
-That's great.
-Come on with that, Whitney.
Wild ones know
Where the wild things are
Wild girls know
Where the wild girls are…
Yeah! Come on, that's sick. That's crazy.
I like that a lot.
And then maybe on the third one,
you'd leave space.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
She's a girl that just wanna have fun.
Girls, girls, they wanna have fun
-I like that. Just keep it simple.
-Can you say "Kentucky" somehow?
Wild horse in the Kentucky
She only love me…
It doesn't sound like "wild wh*re,"
does it?
Uh, that's a good thought.
Do we like the concept of
"Country, country"?
It'd be so cute to be
she's country, country too,
but that changes the whole thing.
It's cool, though.
I kinda like it, because it's like,
"Ooh, she country, country."
Okay, sick.
-I know it changes it…
-That's totally fine.
-But it's kinda cute.
-She country, country.
-She country, country. Yeah.
-Uh-huh.
Do you mind turning it up
just a little bit?
Oh, yeah, she country, country
s on the feet and she keep 'em muddy
I love that.
-What on her feet?
-s.
So basically, like, when somebody says,
"s on the feet in the South,"
he's got -inch tires on his truck.
Like, oh, this girl drives a truck…
Stephen, come on. Yes, sir! Yes.
I'm trying to decipher what he's saying
but it's literally a language
I've never heard before.
No idea.
I mean, it may be cliché.
Say it.
After that melody,
"A happy birthday to me."
Yeah. Woo!
"I deserve all the love all night."
"I just might make a baby on sight."
I just might get a lady
Make a baby on sight
Yeah!
I see them Daisy Dukes
Make you say, ooh
There you go. Great, Stephen.
Hey, the song's so good,
she's like, "I'mma take my weave out,"
because she country, country.
Is someone pulling the checks out?
-Do you want me to stretch you out?
-No, no, no, I'm good.
You're in your biggest Ben energy now.
-I've had a lot of caffeine.
-I know you have.
Keeping your brain sharp is so key
to being able to compete
with these f*cking -year-olds.
Yeah. These whippersnappers,
you know what I'm saying?
Simpletons.
Whitney's like,
"I don't have that problem."
She's like, "Can't relate."
-Can't relate.
-Listen.
What if we did a song
called "Can't Relate?"
-Would it be good for this?
-"Can't relate," yeah.
It'd be like a rap hook or something.
I like it, though.
I'm writing it with y'all's names
next to it, for whatever,
if something happens.
Long week, I've been working
All day on my feet
-Well done, b*tch. Well done.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Happy birthday to me
-No.
-Happy birthday to me
-No.
Happy birthday to me
-Keep that, okay?
-Think Flo Rida.
Yeah, she country, country
's on her feet
And she keep 'em muddy
When she take the top off
Get ya engine running
She don't give a damn
At noon on a Tuesday
But when the sun goes down
She see me in a new way
-One second.
-What did I do?
It's Tuesday.
-You said Thursday.
-Oh, I said Thursday?
Whoops.
Happy birthday to me
-Thank God that I made it here
-Woo!
Even though
I ain't hit the sweepstakes
I think tempo needs to be quick.
-What do you think? No?
-Sorry, I just like, checked out.
So many moving parts and things happening
all around you, you're like…
He's driving me crazy.
-Wait, where are you going?
-I'm trying to get going.
When I come back,
sh*t's gonna sound like a record.
I'm looking around the room
and I'm not seeing a lot of country going.
Jenna's Canadian.
She's not interested in being country,
even though she lives on a farm,
has many horses, goats and chickens,
she still somehow won't admit
she's country, country.
Ferras is very LA.
He's not about to throw me
any country lines.
I'm looking at Trey, and Trey is very pop.
So sometimes you just gotta
take things into your own hands.
I think we should go to another idea.
All right, new seats, new song.
Switching them up.
-Switch it up.
-Okay.
Okay, so the first thing he said
in this interview that I was watching,
his biggest weakness is falling in love…
-Wow.
-…and that it really slows him down.
Is it like,
if loving is a weakness or something?
Yeah, something like that.
I got no strength left in me
Seven days a week
-We only got minutes left.
-Thirty?
-How can we make this even better?
-What you thinking?
I feel like dance instructions.
Yeah.
I like the idea of making people
come together and dance together.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah.
Make you say, ooh, ooh
-Oh, that's kind of sick.
-I love that.
Is it like, "You make me weak?"
Or is there some other angle to this?
Oh, Harv is… okay.
Can we close this door?
Would you mind closing this door?
We've been trying to write another song,
kind of hitting a wall,
and Harv is playing drums
in the other room,
which is making it hard to think.
So, a little frustrating.
-I just had another idea.
-Oh, you did?
-I think I'll start this.
-Okay, sick, do it.
So say it ain't so
I really need to know
Tell me why you gotta go, go, go, go
What's that? Sick.
Say it ain't so
I really need to know
Just a high energy…
Bro, that's fire, what the heck?
I hear that right now.
Say it ain't so
I really need to know
Why you gotta go, go, go, go, go
Done. That's the whole chorus.
Can you hold this for me?
-Which couch do we want?
-That works.
-Middle couch.
-Yeah, nah.
-I love you.
-I feel like I'm on the Titanic right now.
Are these real?
How we feeling? Got a good room today?
-We had an amazing room.
-Amazing room?
An ineffable room.
-An effable room?
-Not an effable.
-Ineffable sounds bad.
-Is that unfuckable?
Ineffable means
cannot be described with words.
I thought it meant something else.
Unfuck-wittable.
How were y'all roles?
We struggled with the vocal chain today.
I basically sounded like
I was flying an F-.
Weren't you producing?
I was doing a lot today.
So if y'all have like a bad session
with someone, what do you do?
Do you completely write them off
or are you like,
"I would like to do a second session?"
You give it a second chance,
you see what it is. Maybe a third session.
That's generous.
Sorry, work somewhere else.
No, but it's just… it's true.
Like, if you're not good,
like, get out of the room.
-Because it kills everything.
-It's true.
Wait, Ferras. It's your first day in camp.
You got something on your face
that you seem like you want to talk about.
-Yeah, that's true, you do. Wow.
-Me? Little old me?
No, this is the first time
that we've worked together.
Trey and I worked together years ago.
It took us a minute, but we got there.
Y'all want to start off? I feel like y'all
kind of transitioned there.
No, Harv was first.
All right, we'll go.
-Yes.
-There's a stage? That's cute.
-All right, here goes.
-Called "My Side of Midnight."
-"My Side of Midnight."
-Nice.
Wild girls know
Where the wild ones are
She know that I don't live far
Two steps from her favorite dive
Back stroking in a bourbon neat
Speed dial when the liquor speaks
-
She know what it is she likes
-It's cool.
"Speed dial when the liquor speaks"
is cool.
Real love
She don't want none
Bad girl
Wanna have fun
Tennessee
Sipping Kentucky
She only love me
When it's my side of midnight
She only calling
When the liquor hitting just right
She only want me
When the drinks are free
She ain't tryna go to sleep
When it's my side of midnight
Whitney definitely wrote
"My Side of Midnight"
because that's her vibes.
She says I'm different
Keep me on the line, she stay fishing
And I don't even mind
Yeah, I'm with it
And I know this won't last long
Gonna end up like a sad song
When the sun rise, she'll be long gone
I feel like we should make a point
not to put super generic lyrics.
I think we should try to put some knives
in there that are like, what?
Something makes you go, "Huh?"
No, she don't give a damn
At noon on a Tuesday
But when the sun go down
She see me in a new way
I know it's coming when it's :
She say "Boozey, are you up?"
And it's my side of midnight
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah.
-That's fire.
-Dope.
It has a Florida vibe.
Yeah.
-That bounce.
-That's dope.
All right.
So then we started this other song.
We do not call Ben
"The Biggest Ben" for nothing.
I'm not surprised
that he has a second song.
-You gotta have the power out.
-Yes.
Biggest Ben.
I was struggling because
I don't think this is super country.
I didn't think it was country enough.
And then Harv goes into the booth
and starts playing the drums.
He walked back in the room
and had one of the best ideas, I think.
So I don't know,
I think it's a good reminder
to, like, let people have their space
and their creative process
happen like it happens.
So it's called "Say It Ain't So."
Say it ain't so
I really need to know
Why you gotta go, go, go, go go
Say it ain't so
I'm running out of hope
Why you gotta go, go, go, go, go
On Broadway and I'm fading away
Some things you can never change
Deep down I'm trying to, baby
If I could turn back
Those hands of time
Second chance, I'd make you mine
It’s on me the time that I wasted
If I were a train wreck
I'd take all the blame, yeah
Standing in the driveway
Screaming out your name, yeah
Say it ain't so
I really need to know
Why you gotta go, go, go, go, go
That's hard!
Say it ain't so
I'm running out of hope
Why you gotta go, go, go, go, go
And it's useless
Trying to spend my time
Thinking of you less, yeah
Say it ain't so
I really need to know
Why you gotta go, go, go, go, go
Baby, don't you go
I love that. I'm sorry,
that's so f*cking hard.
I love that so much.
Good.
-All right.
-All right, cool.
Dope sh*t.
You want us to go next?
-Yep.
-Okay.
-My favorite is simple ideas.
-Yeah. It's ABC .
ABC .
So, Tommy, he realized that last night
there was a girl that was like,
"Hey, it's my birthday."
And so he was like, "Man, we don't have
a country birthday song."
Yeah, anytime I think of birthday,
I think of Cent.
-Uh-huh.
-And I'm like, let's update that.
That's so smart.
I guess I'll be the one to press play.
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Sun came up
Hit another year
Take a shot, thank God
That I made it here
Even though
I ain't hit the sweepstakes
Got a little in my tank
Life's still great
Blu, are you singing?
Amazing. That sounds so good.
But it's sweet, sweet
Lord have mercy
Happy birthday to me
Whoo!
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
I deserve all the love all night
I just might get a lady
Make a baby on sight
I just might blow her back
Show me love on the price
I'm a lucky man
Baby, blow on my dice
It's been a long week
I've been working all day on my feet
But it's sweet, sweet
Lord have mercy
Happy birthday to me
Ay! Ay!
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Two-step, baby, back it on up
Slide up in it
Get up under that rug
Hell yeah, I do a little too much
Talk a lot of sh*t
But I back it all up
Oh, I ain't backing it.
Two-step, baby, back it on up
Slide up in it
Get up under that rug
Hell yeah, I do a little too much
Talk a lot of sh*t
But I back it all up
Hey!
Yeah!
I love it. I love it.
Hey, all right, Chi.
It's her birthday.
Yeah, happy birthday to Chi.
Yes!
It's genius.
-It's genius.
-That's right.
"Make a baby on sight" is a good line.
Is that the second verse? It's all great.
I think "Happy Birthday to Me"
is the song of the camp.
It's so easy. Happy birthday to me.
Like, hello,
we're not reinventing the wheel,
but the melodies, the everything,
the whole thing, it's like, it feels new.
I'm so je-- why didn't I write that song?
-I can go? All right.
-Yep.
-Happy birthday.
-That'll be stuck in my head.
-Where you wanna sit?
-Here.
Um…
Um, you just started, like, spitting off,
like, country lyrics.
I wouldn't necessarily ever say
"a Louisville slugger."
First of all,
I don't even know what sport that is.
So half of what we said,
I don't even know what it means,
but it sounds so great.
I don't care what this is.
Like, it just sounds good.
I love Ferras, but I kind of
had to put my hands in a lot of places
and carry the load.
But I guess it is what it is.
-So this is called "Country, Country."
-Nice.
I love this beat so much.
Ah, yeah, she country, country
s on her feet and she keep 'em muddy
When she take the top off
Get ya engines running
In them Balenci Daisy Dukes
When she cuttin' loose
Make you say ooh-ooh
Small-town homecoming
You know what I mean
All that a*s and that attitude
Fittin' in them jeans
It ain’t a city light private flight
Living in her dreams
She a hometowner
First verse, pop off, pop off.
She like to rock, she like to roll
I’m thankin' God
You better sing.
I got good girl everybody knows
Yeah, she country, country
s on her feet and she keep 'em muddy
When she take the top off
Get ya engine running
In them Balenci Daisy Dukes
When she cuttin' loose
Make you say ooh-ooh
Yeah, she country, country
Booty shaker with some acres
That’s her Daddy’s money
Mama made her a heartbreaker
But she love me love me
Ain’t a city in the world
That could take her from me
Yeah, yeah, she country, country
That's crazy.
Hey, that's a smash.
-That's a smash.
-Yeah, I agree.
I'm so proud of our song.
Like, it was a concept that I worked out
with everybody in the room.
So if this song goes number one,
it could be so huge for me
and for everybody else in the room.
First of all, the vocal sounds amazing.
I know y'all said you had
to go through a little bit of…
-Just trials and tribulations to get it.
-Jump through some hoops.
A little bit, but man,
I think it sounds amazing.
And I think one thing I noticed was like…
You kind of used a lot of
the same three notes the whole song.
Yeah.
What was cool was every section,
even though it was using
kind of the same three notes,
felt very signature.
So when it came back around,
you already knew it…
-…and you were ready to sing it.
-We discussed that.
-And it didn't feel old.
-Right.
I wish the second verse melody
was the first verse melody.
It was, originally,
and then we moved it to second.
It's more notes, right?
-It's hard.
-Yeah.
-My cousins would listen to that.
-That song's jamming.
The only note that I would have for
"Country, country" is update the verses.
The verse kind of sound,
I don't want to say dated,
but it had a, you know, vibe on it.
But no, I like that song.
-'Cause I'm country country.
-Okay, let's go.
-That's right.
-Perfect.
She was just a shotgun
I was just a casualty
Ooh, but it's always been…
-Come on.
-Come on.
Me and Stephen bought our house
literally four months ago.
So I'm really excited
for everyone to come in and see it.
It's something we're really proud of.
To look at a house and be like,
"Music bought us this," is so emotional.
I could even cry about it.
This is about to be pandemonium.
Okay, babies.
It's all right. It's all right.
Oh.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-Hey! Oh my gosh, you look cute.
-You look cute.
How was your day?
-Hi! I'm good.
-How are you?
-Welcome.
-You're early for Halloween.
-Girl.
-Hi!
-Oh!
-Yeah.
Guys, welcome to the house.
It's good to have you here.
Love you guys. This is so exciting.
-Damn.
-Wow.
Straight to the table, y'all.
Straight to the table.
Hi. Food delivery.
-Hey.
-Wow!
Get in here, family style.
That mac and cheese smell good.
I want the hottest-hottest,
of the hottest, hottest-hottest.
Can I do the cheers?
All right, listen. Every dream that
we had for this house,
bringing creatives together and being able
to make music has come true tonight.
-So I appreciate and love you guys.
-Facts.
It's a blessing to be in your company
and to be able to work with you.
So cheers to you guys.
-Cheers.
-Yes, sir.
Cheers.
Thank you guys for having us. For real.
Thank y'all for hosting.
Cheers.
How have y'all liked
writing in Nashville so far?
It was really cool.
I love coming into a room
that already has good-a*s energy.
Yeah.
And anytime a room is open,
the sky's the limit. You know what I mean?
I mean, everything comes down
to communication in the room.
There was a day in the Bahamas
where our session got cut really short
and I was very vocal
about not being pleased about that.
-Which session was that?
-Uh, with Jenna and Tommy.
Second day.
Jenna, Jenna,
we only have five minutes for real.
I'm almost done.
There's no getting
…
Keep going. It's fine.
We don't got nothing on the second verse.
I can do something like…
No, you're good.
-You sure?
-Yep.
I mean, that was just because
I was trying to finish a good song,
and I'd honestly do that again.
I feel like everybody here
has a different approach.
I'd say like, Ferras and I
are probably a little bit more direct.
We'll tell you if we don't like something,
ten times over.
I think it's about finding whatever works
for you and getting to the end goal.
When Whitney brought up feeling
uncomfortable about the session,
immediately I'm like,
"Oh, do we have
a bigger problem than I thought?"
So what all did you renovate?
Everything.
-Everything but the studs.
-Wow.
Is this the first dinner
you guys have had?
Ever. We've never had anyone over.
Wow.
No, guys, like, this is a test run.
This is like our fourth day
being in this house.
But what makes a house a home
is the people, right? That's just facts.
It's the people that you bring into it.
I am honestly, like…
I'm such an energy person,
and I feel like
what you bring into your environment
is what feels like home anyway.
You could live anywhere in the world.
So it's like, regardless of anything…
It was like…
It was crazy because I think we got here
and we were like, the studio…
You were like… I mean,
originally it was so, and then…
He was like, God, this is so ugly.
Did you not?
-Yeah.
-You were like, oh…
The fact it is
soundproofed and it's like a full…
I mean, it's kind of a dream
to have a studio like that.
But the windows were,
I think what's… like the house was like…
-We're still not used to like living here.
-Yeah.
So it's just like, but…
Okay, next song?
Oh my God. Am I that boring?
I can't go any lower
I can’t get high enough
And if sh*t's going down, it goes up
Bottoms up, bottoms up, bottoms up
Bottoms up, bottoms down
Mounted up, ended up in the town
And if sh*t's going down, it goes up
Bottoms up, bottoms up, bottoms up
I’m a lone ranger in a Stetson hat
Said I’ll call you later
Never call you back
I dont need a chaser
Give it to me straight…
