BBHMM was written in 3 hours
Quote:
Before #BBHMM became a Rihanna world premiere, it was a just a 20-year-old woman from Berlin called Bibi; bitchin’ about her bad mood over unfinished beats from Roc Nation’s Deputy at a local LA studio.
How did you write that song?
We were just vibing with Deputy in one of the local studios I record out of. It was back when I was into writing to beats, which I don’t do anymore. He played me it, I went in and started saying something like “BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY!”, because I was feeling ratchet that day. We got that **** done in three hours, then Dep went home and worked on it some more. It came out the way it did, and people seemed to like it.
It always bends my mind when I hear about massive tracks that were written in less than half a day.
An hour can change your life. I’ve only been in the industry for a year and a half, so it’s even more crazy for me. It’s weird, but I just feel lucky. All of this **** happened so fast. I am grateful.
So you were commissioned specifically to write this song for Rihanna?
Hmm, we actually wrote it for fun because we thought, let's try to write a song for Rihanna. We had no idea she would actually ever hear it or do it; we just decided. It took us forever to get it to her, and when she did hear it, she thought it was cool. I’m an artist first and foremost, you see? The only songwriting projects I’ve ever had are Rihanna. And, to be honest, she’s the only person I really cared about writing for. She liked my songs and the things I was doing, because I love to make music. And she picked them.
Am I right in thinking you’ve also written the song “Higher” for Rihanna’s album?
Yeah, that is a really big song, and really dear to me, and she killed it. “Higher” is more like what I would do in my own stuff.
When you started working with her was it hard sometimes to decide what to keep for yourself and what to let go?
Everything happens for a reason. Working with Rihanna has changed my life. The 20 minutes it took me to write “Higher” is actually what changed my life, because, even though we wrote “Bitch Better Have My Money” first, she heard that one first.
