When I started this one I was trying to make a tune that would sound like a proper pop song, with verses and choruses etc, just from sample pack vocals and midi instruments and stuff like that.

One thing I learned while working on this is that I don't ever want to compose, then edit, then mix this many elements in a track again!

It also got me thinking about how a computer can never truly replicate the energy of real people playing music together, and that maybe it's a fool's errand to really try to do that. It takes forever and there's always one little thing where the groove sounds off, an awkward transition, stuff like that where a great band would just play a good take and it's down. I woke up a lot of mornings and didn't want to work on this, really couldn't bear to hear it over again.

I ended up taking a lot of extended breaks and then coming back, only really pushing on and finishing it because I'd sunk so many hours into it, and not necessarily because I think it's one of my best.

*Trivia

The chorus used to go:

"I'm gonna rock like that (watch me) 
 I'm gonna rock like that"

but I was worried I'd get sued by Soulja Boy cos one of his choruses sings "watch me" so I replaced it. Some might call that delusional, I just think it's a good working habit
