I\u2019m not hating on anybody, I\u2019m just saying there\u2019s a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes. Doesn\u2019t mean that the outcome can\u2019t be really great. And some of the greatest singers \u2014 I mean, Ella Fitzgerald never wrote a song in her life. When I sing, I have to close my eyes and just be in there.
