Keep in mind, you can use Auto-Tune and you can know how to work it perfectly, but you still have to know how to write a good song.

I guess a good song is a good song is a good song, ya know.

Whenever I'm writing a song, if I have an idea for the music video, that's how I know it's a good song.

I don't know if a song is going to be a hit or it's going to flop. I never know. I just do the music and if people like it, they like it.

I'm a composer, and therefore I know when I've written a good tune. When you've written a good song is when you know that the lyric is completely coalesced with the song.

When I'm in the studio, I don't finish the song and say, 'That's going to be a big ringtone.'
