Story of Song
In an interview with MTV News, Eva Simons talked about working with will.i.am and told the story of this song: “He is super creative, and we kind of have the same energy. We can’t sit still. We were in the studio, and he had this track, and he’s like, ‘Yo, Eva, would you like to do this song with me?’ And we had been recording a couple tracks before, so he knows what I’m capable of and he trusts me, and we don’t really know each other for that long, but he trusts me. I recorded it, and he mixes it straight away from his laptop, and it’s done. That’s so beautiful; not only is he super creative and knows what he wants, but he also sees when other people are creative as well. He’s not afraid to collaborate.”
