There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.
But when I hear a great song, I can't help but be inspired by it, regardless of whatever genre that song falls under.
I really like Ariana Grande, Jessie J, and Nicki Minaj's song, the 'Bang Bang' song. It's the new 'Lady Marmalade.' So good.
I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song.
I keep reminding people that an editorial in rhyme is not a song. A good song makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you think.
A great song can make a terrible singer sound good, but a good singer - you put a great song on top of that, you're really in great shape!
The funny thing is the songs that people think are about me probably aren't. And the songs that are probably are the ones they wouldn't think... so that's where it kind of is funny.
We sing inspirational songs, songs of praise and worship, and about how good and how big God is. We are magnifying the Lord.
There's so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life.
Typically, the theme of my albums, if there is a theme, is, 'How does it feel?' And that always leads to love songs. It just does.
You can tell the difference between songs that were created in a garage and songs that were created in the studio.
Well, I make every song I sing personal. I've never chosen a song that wasn't.
So, once I've written a song, you know, I'm pretty happy with what the song is on its own terms.
I wrote songs with the guys from Air Supply for their record... So I was just writing songs.
In the past, my process would start with a sample of another song, and I'd chop it up and use that as the basis of the song that I was making.
I don't like to make fluffy little songs, but now I want to make some light songs.
And I'm the biggest country fan there is, but I'm always a little cautious of a slower song or just a song with subject matter.
There is a song in your heart, only you can hear it. In silence, that is the song of longing and love.
I'm recording freely, and if I make a song, I release it immediately, so I'm more likely to believe in one song at a time as opposed to albums.
I like to do cover songs if I really love them, I have to love the song first.
I love the idea of waking up to a song. It could be any song.
