![]() ![]() Is finding new beats on TikTok a new strategy for you?ĭerulo: No. McIntyre: Both of these songs were out in the world and doing their thing on TikTok, and now that you've come and brought them to the next level. If clubs were actually out right now, I think it would be the premiere club track. It's something that I know people are going to flip out over, and they have been flipping out over, but I believe that it needed a real chance to have a main stage, so I wrote a complete song to it with the producers. McIntyre: I was just listening to “Coño.” Why don't you tell me a bit about that one?ĭerulo: Yeah, “Coño” is a similar thing, some similar idea where I heard it and I thought it was fantastic. “Savage” has this really happy, sunny vibe to it, and I think it was just exactly what people needed at the time. ![]() And I think besides everything else going on in the world, people just need that great feel.
