If I’m making a song with Billie, then it’s for Billie… She has to want to wear that song every day. And I think I try to do the same thing when I’m making a song for myself… I try to treat them both that way, like I’m sort of A&R-ing her and then A&R-ing myself. Finneas Read Quote

Billie doesn’t actually like recording sessions at all. We like making music together. She doesn’t like going to some big studio and having them pretend to be a therapist for a couple hours. So by default, we always make the good stuff together. Finneas Read Quote
The way that we tried to approach every piece of music is, if the song had a brain, it would be aware of its catalog. Finneas Read Quote
