benny blanco returns!!!! This is hands down my favorite interview I’ve done so far! After the last episode with Benny, you all loved it so much that Benny himself reached out to me with an idea, what if we sat down and went over his actual demos of some of the biggest songs in the world? So that’s exactly what we did.For the first time ever, Benny takes us inside the process of making hit records, breaking down the original demos of his most iconic songs. But this episode isn’t just about the music—it’s about what it really takes to create, push through self-doubt, and make something that connects with people.💡 This conversation is for YOU if:🔥 You’re an artist, songwriter, or producer trying to make it🔥 You want to see how hit songs are really made from the ground up🔥 You’ve ever doubted yourself creatively and needed inspiration🔥 You love music and want to understand it on a deeper levelBenny shares the raw, unfiltered first versions of songs that would go on to become global hits. But what hit me most wasn’t just the music—it was his mindset. His belief in creativity, collaboration, and the idea that sometimes, the best songs take years to find their moment. I was pretty much speechless throughout this whole interview. This episode will change the way you see music forever; I know it changed me. Benny, thank you for this. Thank you for sharing your journey, your process, and for trusting me with this conversation. So grateful to go Behind The Wall with you once again. Excited for your new album with Selena coming soon too!!!! And thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey and helped bring this episode to life. 🙏 Thank you to all the people who made, sang, and created these songs and thank you to Benny and his team for sharing the original demos.

Every single person told us stereo hearts wouldn't work a moves like Jagger is not gonna work every person Sometimes I'm taking a shit and I just hear a whole chorus in my head It was like Jagger was the song you were trying to make us your idea As my idea.
