Today, 'Want to Want Me' is on the verge of becoming Derulo's 11th million-selling single.
Like, 'OK, I got that wack one out the way and now we can really start doing the album.' It wasn't until I started playing it for people that I knew how special the song was and, yeah man, it started a whole new vibe. 'The first song you do is supposed to be like, the trial run. 'The first song that you write is never supposed to be your first single, that's just unheard of,' he says. 'I feel like the album has an anthemic feel,' he says.Ĭlearly the formula worked, as the very first song he recorded for the project ultimately became its lead single, 'Want to Want Me.'
Derulo began recording Everything Is 4 on his tour bus, channeling the energy from his live shows into the booth.
