'I thought, 'Well that's probably good because I don't know what that is,'' Cyrus says, smiling. 'They said everything but the marijuana,' he says, so Jozzy suggested Fendi sports bras. 'Baby's got a habit, diamond rings and marijuana.'Ĭyrus thought it was hilarious, but someone higher up on the totem pole scrapped it. So they started riffing on his rock star look and about 10 minutes later had this lyric: She was there to coax lyrics out of him, he concedes, as he isn't used to writing on demand like that.
It was March, and he went to work in a studio with writer Jozzy (Jocelyn Donald). Talking to ToC Nights host Evan Paul, Cyrus remembers getting a call from Columbia Records to write a third verse for a song that had not yet blown up nationwide. The pair met thanks to Noah Cyrus before the '90s hitmaker had even heard of Lil Nas X, Tik Tok and 'Old Town Road.' Having a record-setting hitmaker on your solo debut is a pretty good marketing tool if you can do it. Cyrus and Johnny McGuire (formerly of Walker McGuire) recently stopped by Taste of Country Nights to talk about their collaboration 'Chevys and Fords,' found under McGuire's name on digital streaming platforms.
