3:02

We've got a bottom kick.


3:04
We've got a
3:05
top kick which is just literally giving you click.
3:09
We've got a punchy snare.
3:11
We've got a fatter snare.
3:13
And we've got like a disco clap here.
3:16
We also have like a
3:23
Each section, the base kind of opens up more and more.
3:26
So it's kind of low fight in the first verse.
3:29
It opens up a bit more in the pre-chorus,
3:32
and then in the chorus,
3:34
I layered
3:36
the live bass with a Moog bass.
3:47
That makes the base in the hook brighter
3:50
and just cut through a touch more
3:51
and also give it some more bottom end.
3:54
Because it's a Moog.
3:55
I then
3:56
bring in
3:57
two
3:58
sets of
4:00
keys
4:01
which are played together,
4:02
which is like a rock piano,
4:04
like a kind of almost like an Elton John,
4:06
really hard, glossy, kind of 80's sounding piano.
4:18
Another little guitar note comes in here,
4:19
just running through it.
4:23
So in the second verse, I don't bring too much else in,
4:28
apart from a shaker loop that adds on top of the drums.
4:38
Second
4:40
pre-chorus
4:42
we bring in two new guitars.
4:49
The second guitar is playing a bit more of
4:51
like a reverb-ed out kind of riff.
4:58
The main thing that changed
4:59
in the second hook to the first hook
5:01
is that you've got all those
5:03
second pre-chorus elements in your second chorus.
5:06
Now
5:08
I bring in
5:09
the horns.
5:10
So the horns
5:12
are
5:13
a combination of
5:15
samples
5:17
which I played in.
5:19
and then I also have real live horns
5:22
by a guy called Johnny Thirkell,
5:25
who played the horns on Uptown Funk
5:29
and 24 other number ones.
5:31
This was his 25th number one.
5:33
(joyful music)
5:48
My stacked one has given me a bit more brightness
5:50
and a bit more kind of like bite to them.
5:55
There's a couple of little kind of like bangs and whooshes.
6:04
At that point, I don't think I had the key change in.
6:07
I think it was just kind of a bit of a Eureka moment.
6:11
It was a bit of a trial and error,
6:12
but it really just works.
6:13
And because they can sing so well,
6:15
it takes the whole thing over the top of it.
6:17
After we add all these elements together,
6:20
we end up with something that sounds
6:24
like this.
6:50
Only RM
6:52
speaks really fluent English,
6:55
and they all sing it so well.
6:57
I mean, I'm just putting myself into their shoes.
7:00
And if someone came to me and said,
7:01
you've got to sing a song in Korean.
7:03
I would just be like,
7:04
"How on Earth am I supposed to do?"
7:05
I wouldn't even know where to start.
7:07
I'm a small part of what this is,
7:08
but it's like I've been embraced as like one of their own,
7:12
which is like incredible and very humbling,
7:14
and lovely to
7:16
to experience.
7:19
I've made everything up to now that you would have heard
7:23
in my bedroom
7:25
in my parents' house.
7:27
I'm not there now.
7:27
I'm in a studio now.
7:29
And I've only been in here for six weeks,
7:31
and I still look back like it's a new girlfriend.
7:34
You know, that kind of like look back
7:35
when you just meet your new girlfriend
7:37
or boyfriend or whatever.
