Billboard - USA (2019-09-21)

How did the song come to be?

bbno$ I [wanted to] make

something around 120 bpm —

that’s typically what people jump

up and down to. We started

ripping a Latin guitar melody.

Y2k We were on our way back

from breakfast. It was pretty

fast. He had never sung on

a song before; it was always

rapping. But he came in clutch

with that line “Amex, no cap,

800 score.”

Marketing strategies with

TikTok and Tinder helped the

song take off. When did you

realize it was working?

bbno$ When it was popping on

TikTok. There were 300 videos

of [influencers promoting] “Lala-

la” before the song came out.

Y2k But none of this would’ve

happened if the song wasn’t

good. You see songs all the time

that go viral and then have no

legs to stand on.

You have spread 12 funny,

false stories about the song’s

origin. Which is your favorite?

Y2k That bbno$ and I met in an

Ariana Grande VIP meet-and-

greet line and decided that we

could write a song for Ariana

Grande. We [said that we] wrote

“Lalala” and she turned it down,

and that’s how the song came to

be. We did everything you could

to push this song.
