This was (my) first real experience diving head first into a more collaborative songwriting process. RL Grime, Daya Relive '90s Childhoods in 'I Wanna Know' Music Video: Watch It was important for me to find a way to bridge the dark gritty-ness of “Era” and the radiance of “I Wanna Know.” I wanted it to have a sense of urgency, but still feel like a deep breath in the middle of the album. Maybe it’s that I can’t separate the film from the song, but there is something dystopic and jarring about this record. I had that visual in my head of these fire breathing cars barreling across a vast desert. The whole intro/build section for this song was made very shortly after I saw Mad Max . He is an absolute wizard, and I have always admired his approach to music. I wrote this demo and had Alex (Boys Noize) recorded some sounds on his analog gear for me to use.
I like to think this song was me channeling that emotion. Sitting on so many songs, people asking what’s going on, a million different opinions, etc. The album process can be very unnerving and frustrating. This was one of the last songs I finished for the album, and I think it came from a place of, for lack of a better word, pressure.

He took a full left turn in his career and pursued what he’s passionate about. I relate to that and admire him for that. He’s one of the most down to Earth and genuine people I know. Since then, Joji and I been making a bunch more music together. A few weeks later, I linked with Joji and we knocked out the rest. Truly one of the quickest and most versatile writers I’ve ever been in a room with. He walked in with a backwood in his mouth, went straight into the booth and cut the record front to back. Sosa came in and picked a demo that I never expected him to, and laid it down in one session. I had been looking for the right record to work on with Sosa, and had a few ideas going into our first session. I have a lot of respect for Ty and TK for stepping out of their comfort zone and being open to working on a record like this. The song started from that lead synth sound you hear at the beginning, and as the song was built, I wanted it to have this dark, brooding feeling to it. I was cooped up in a hotel room for days and was starting to go a bit crazy. I had a week off in between festivals, and there were these massive political protests going on at night outside of our hotel, and we were advised to stay inside for most of the stay. I wrote the demo for this song while I was in Rio, Brazil. It was really important for me to continue relationships I had started in the past, because I wanted this album to not only help illustrate where I’m going, but where I’ve come from. We worked together on the Cruel Intentions EP back in 2015, and he felt like the right melodic pairing. He sent me this hook idea, and the rest of the song fell into place. Jeremih has been a close collaborator with WEDIDIT, and is one of the most impressive writers I know. I wanted this record to be one of the lighter moments on the album, something that feels like summer and being in outside in nature.
Julia is an absolute titan, and I have always loved working with Miguel, so the recording process was very natural. It was an old Jack U session that they had shelved, but when I heard it I knew exactly how I wanted to approach it. This song originated from a demo Wes played me last year. Freya has this deep, powerful voice that ended up being a perfect foil to the production which is a bit brighter. I had been playing the instrumental in my festivals sets, and it always felt special to me, but I knew it needed a voice to give it some character. This is one of the oldest songs on the album. I made the initial demo idea back in 2015. Keep locked to RL Grime’s socials to get the first taste of more album treats, including the ID rip below.RL Grime Shares 'Undo' Featuring Jeremih & Tory Lanez, Announces Album Release Date: Watch We can’t imagine the wait will be much longer now, though. Since wrapping up his tour of the same name, RL has remained rather silent about NOVA the album other than releasing singles from it, most recently “I Wanna Know” featuring the vocals of Daya. And if you know his voice, you can tell right away. But we strongly believe it’s Jeremih considering he has worked with We Did It in the past on the ‘No More EP’ that was produced entirely by Shlohmo. Speculations currently land on either Jeremih or Troy Lanez. The vocalist is yet unknown though it may sound like Miguel, a poster on the reddit swiftly confirmed it was not him. A short video from the show surfaced on /r/trap and was immediately recognized from his Ultra Music Festival set. RL Grime’s NOVA album is still on everyone’s radars, and an ID that’s rumored to be on that album was once again played at LED San Diego this last weekend.
