All For Us, it was one of (groovy bass music begins)
the funnest experiences that I had
on my own while people were in the room.
'Cause I had my A&R and like, my whole team talking
about some other song and I'd made All For Us
while they were talking. (groovy bass music continues)
They didn't notice that I literally
made this whole record and I just,
after they finished talking, I just pressed play
and they were like, what the hell is this?
I sent the song to Sam Levinson
and he loved it enough that he was like,
"This is gonna be the finale for season one."
And I was like, "Are you serious?"
He was like, "Yeah." I was like, "Well, okay."
And then of course, being able to perform it
at Coachella and see people go absolutely apeshit
was like what the hell? (Labrinth laughing)
