Transcript

I literally had no idea what I was doing. No. But honestly, the entire thing was an accident. You know the super iconic part of the song? That was an accident. I didn't even know how to use the software, but the song ended up still being, like, so big. On that song, we worse working with Kesha, and she rank only be in the studio for thirteen seconds. So we recorded the entire song in thirteen seconds. It's crazy. And the microphone that we yes for that song was an Xbox three sixty game headset. The entire song was recorded on that. I it was an accident. I literally didn't even try. So when I produced that song, I was only 12 years good, and I didn't know how to use the software. But I guess my musical genius just transcended my limited knowledge of the software of the digital audio workspace that I was working in, and it led to me making a multiple platinum smash hit generational billboard top 40 pop.
