“‘Go shorty, it’s ya birthday’ – that's not rocket science. When people come with intentions to enjoy themselves, when [a woman] is going out with her girlfriends they go with the intention to have a good time and they take the shot that they wouldn't take but [their friends] go, ‘Come on girl, it's your birthday,’” he explains. “I didn't realize it would stay relevant that long but we worded it that way but it's just what came out when I heard the production. The beauty of music when you’re conditioned for it feels like magic because it's not hard work.”
