I&#8217;m not bringing JENNIE a bunch of beats that I would play for Future or a bunch of beats that I would play for Gucci Mane or Jay-Z. I did my research on BLACKPINK. I was listening to it, and I started scratching my head. I was like, \u201cOh shit. She&#8217;s either gonna be the first artist to hate everything I play, or she wants something so new that she&#8217;s gonna love everything I play. But I&#8217;m with the challenge.\u201d That&#8217;s what the Ear Drummer team is all about: doing something new, something out of the box, and breaking boundaries.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            She picked a list of beats, and we had a few songwriters in the room. At one point, JENNIE stepped out, and while she was in the next room with Melz, True, Bibi [Bourelly], and PLUSS, they laid down a quick idea \u2014 just something off the cuff. I didn\u2019t expect it, but it ended up being dope.

I cook a lot, so I was in there cooking one day, and me, 30 Roc, and True were just in the studio, working on different stuff. My space isn\u2019t a traditional studio \u2014 it used to be an art gallery, so it\u2019s super open and collaborative. 30 Roc and True had started on this R&amp;B track, and as soon as I heard a melody that caught my ear, I jumped in. I love doing drums \u2014 out-of-pocket, weird drums that are on-beat but feel off-beat, something fresh. So I hopped in, added the drums, and that was one of four or five beats we made that day. For JENNIE to pick that beat? That was wild.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>30 Roc<\/b>: I remember pitching it down a little, and then everything really came together after that. That really set the tone for the beat; we all knew where we were going after that.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>Mike WiLL Made-It<\/b>: Watching JENNIE and Bibi cook up the song was crazy. At first, it was just JENNIE solo, but then she brought on Kali [Uchis] and Donald [Glover]. I had so much fun mixing it, adding breaks and pauses, and structuring it. The beat already had this insane vibe, and JENNIE\u2019s voice just matched it perfectly, almost like we made that beat for her in that moment.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>Melz<\/b>: I love when artists like that get together. It was so unexpected. I would never have thought to put this person on this record, you know?

Mike had mentioned needing some beats for Miley Cyrus, so when I started creating the sound, I was envisioning a bluesy, psychedelic rock style, with a little bit of soul, a big arena-type vibe \u2014 nothing pop. I made a live drum loop and took a guitar melody I got from Xeryus, another one of the producers who worked on the track. I arranged some other live instruments around it, like live bass and some keyboards. Once I had an idea, I sent it to Mike, and he sent it over to Myles, letting Myles do his thing.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>MGFMYLES<\/b>: Mike WiLL sent me a .wav file of the guitar melody, live bass, and live drums that Resource and Xeryus had laid down. So, when I got it, I treated it like a sample and flipped it into a beat. It immediately gave me festival vibes, so I continued in the direction of how it made me feel. I sped it up, added 808s, hats, snare, and a melody to it, then sent it back to Mike.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>RESOURCE<\/b>: I was surprised by the direction they took for the song. When I imagined K-pop before I ever heard the actual song, I had no idea what it would sound like. Me and Mike make all types and styles of music, so it really could\u2019ve been anything. When he played me the song, my mind was blown because I felt like that record had a lot of rock and soul elements, and the song ended up being named &#8220;Seoul City.&#8221;\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>MGFMYLES<\/b>: She definitely took it where it needed to go sonically and vocally.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269448\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"JENNIEs_songwriting_process_with_Bibi_Bourelly\"><\/span>\n        <center>JENNIE&#8217;s songwriting process with Bibi Bourelly<\/center><br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <b>Mike WiLL Made-It<\/b>: Bibi is like a walking jukebox.

When the artist says that they&#8217;re willing to experiment and try different things, something good&#8217;s gonna come out of it. Personally, she challenged me to try something different, and it opened my eyes and ears to some new stuff.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>PLUSS<\/b>: She wants this turning point \u2014 she wants to switch the dynamic, just like the rest of [BLACKPINK]. They\u2019re all exploring solo work, seeing if they can fly on their own, and they\u2019re making great music. This will put them in a new space and show people they can shine both solo and together. For us, it\u2019s huge too.
