for the Billboard Music Awards. Howdo you feel about that? It's yes,
down so crazy. Yeah, Imean it's such an honor. I
just feel very excited. It wasvery shocking, very cool. When did
(00:42):
you get the news about that?I think like last week it's been a
little like so busy the past weekthat so many things have been like flying
at me, and it's still likeI haven't really taken a second, I
like process it yet. No,you're killing it this year, Greedy.
Obviously, every time we played,I feel like I need to be like
(01:03):
you expected to blow up like thatlike on TikTok and just how your friends
ever seen it? No? Youknow, I was really nervous because this
is a lot. I started teasingit like five and a half weeks before
I actually released it, which seemslike so abnormally long, and I was
like trying to get it out,but like, obviously lots of things that
(01:25):
go into it, but it wasreally wild. I didn't think that it
was gonna like pop off like itdid, but it's really cool. I'm
happy. Were you recording like othersongs? Are you like this is the
line? Oh my gosh. Iwas going back and forth between a million
songs. I've probably written like seventyeighty songs this year. I could have
chosen from it. I was like, Okay, this is a risk,
(01:47):
but whatever, Yeah, what wasthe moment for you that made you like
pick Grady? Well, I've beenworking with Ryan Tedder a lot, and
he's obviously like so incredible, Andevery single time I would come back to
the studio work with him, he'dlike play greedy like as I was like
walking in and I'd be like godbye, like I can't he can't listen
to this, like I'm not intoit whenever, and then we like this
(02:10):
song would through like twenty different versionsand then finally like the last time I
came into the studio, I waslike, this is actually really fired.
And I've been like debating for likemonths and months and months when I should
release and then ended up just likesticking with Greedy because I thought it sounded
really cool. After the twentieth version, well, I love that that one
got picked and the music video wasso fire. Thank you. Not that
(02:30):
you like always go back to yourdancing roots, like I'm gonna remind them
I'm a dancer when I put amusic video inspiration for you. Yeah,
I'm really proud of it. I'mreally happy with how it turned out.
What was the inspiration out making thismusic video? Oh, honestly, like
lots of old deep dives into oldmusic dance music videos. Like I remember

thing every year where we're like inour sad girl era, sing this together
and it's like ninety nine point ninepercent tab of Cray songs. It's just
so relatable. You know, yourmusic just hits. But I feel like
with Greedy, you're like a littlemore savage on this line, would you
say you're like savage era, I'mfor sure in a different era of writing.
(03:38):
Not that not saying there's gonna besad girl songs, obviously, I'm
definitely in a I'm just having morefun in the studio, honestly, just
being like fuck it, just likesaying whatever I want to say. And
that's like the most freeing way towrite is just you know, first thing
that comes to your mind, justlike putting in a song and seeing what
(04:00):

last year. We can definitely tellwith this record, I'm like, oh,
