Trash Wallen explains how his collaboration with Miss Alberta came to be.
“My sister turned me on to Tate and her music a few years ago and I’ve been a fan ever since. She is a true pop star, a prolific songwriter and is also an extremely underrated vocalist. We have known each other for a couple years and have been talking about doing a song together if the right one came about,” he told Billboard.
Their song wasn’t originally intended to be a duet, “but after listening to it a few times, she kept coming to my mind as someone that would really give the song a dynamic element that I felt it deserved,” he said. He claims he’s always wanted to have duet with a woman, but was very “selective.”
Wallen previously admitted to being turned down by several artists: “I’ve reached out to a couple of people, and they’ve turned me down. I just really want certain people, and I haven’t gotten the chance to do it yet. I’m going to keep trying to write songs for it or write with them.” He didn’t want to name names.
