"I was really excited, because I did a cover of one of his songs. He asked me if I had original stuff, and he asked me to come work with him in LA when he heard “i hate u, i love u.” It was a really cool experience. I didn’t even know he was going to put a verse on it. I was like, “This is so cool and so good.” It was the first time I had something professionally recorded, and it sounded like a real song. I was so excited about it. It was from a really emotional place for both of us. I know that his part was inspired by real events also. It’s not just some bullshit, fake stuff. It was real and emotional, and that’s why it resonates with people."
