So I went to this party the night before, and Gaga was at this party. It was like we instantly hooked up, we were laughing and joking, and cracking up. And then she says “Hey, I’m doing a session tomorrow, do you wanna pop by the studio?” Guys, that’s what we do, we’re musicians, we pop by the studio.
                                                                                                                             So I popped by the studio, and she was working on a song with Diane Warren, and I never met Diane Warren in my life before. Of course, I knew who she was. So we walked in, and I looked at the charts, and I was listening to what was going on. Gaga kept singing a D note, D natural over an F chord that they were playing. And so I just said, in a very loving way “Hey, you know Diane, check out Gaga, she keeps singing a D over the F chord; that sounds like a country six chord. Why don’t we flip it and make it into a thirteen chord, and it would be really dope.” Then, Diane Warren went “Wow, that’s the coolest thing I ever heard!”
                                                                                                                           I rewrote the chart real quick and then Gaga figured it out and played it. And then I said “Well, how about we do this?” So, I wrote the chart and she played it. Diane Warren was awesome. We were there the whole night just hanging out, laughing, and it was just a blast, but it was no big deal in my life. I mean, when I say ‘no big deal’, I mean that that it was important, but it was business as usual. It was no big deal, we weren’t like “Oh my god, this is the second coming.” That’s just what I do.
