Stuck in the middle tai verdes5/15/2023 All the heads of all these companies were calling me at Verizon during my break. It’s crazy, because right when I put it on Spotify, you could see people going from TikTok to Spotify. Then I posted another video the next day of, like, the pre-chorus, and then it gets another 100,000 views and I’m like, Oh, okay. I’d seen people get 10 million views on TikTok. It’s not like I got out of that car thinking, This is the best song. So then after I said that line, it kind of just fell out of me.Īnd then on my drive back to my house I listened back and enjoyed it to the point where I was smiling, windows down. And then my toxic ex pops in my head and I’m just like, “you’re a player aren’t you, and I bet you got hoes” and that’s the epitome of starting with a good premise. I’m listening to it, and I’m like, Okay, first line, first line. I had to buy it eventually if something worked. I knew that I had to have something that wasn’t viewed a lot because I needed it to be mine. Usually a lot of these beats have 50,000 to 100,000, maybe 1 million, views on them because they’re so good. I’m going on YouTube searching like “Harry Styles–type beat.” And then after going around I found this beat that had like a thousand views, which is so small. The whole vibe of the internet is loud rap beats, a lot of trap beats, a lot of low-fi beats, but there’s not a lot of, like, instrumental indie stuff. I’m on the seventh level of hell of YouTube every single night. And I was listening to YouTube beats because that’s how I find my music. I was going through a toxic relationship. Your premise has to be so good that you need to know what’s next. My brother told me, “You have to hook people in the first two lines.” And that’s what I live by now.
