Check The Credits: Songwriter Eric Bellinger Breaks Down Writing Songs For Justin Beiber, Chris Brown, Brandy and More

“The Woman You Love” – Ashanti feat. Busta Rhymes

“I feel like I did that song so fast. I was shocked she liked it. I wrote that one practically in my sleep. Songs come so quick to me when I hear the beat or instrumental. I usually tell people not to play it until I have a mic around or something, because I like to go with what my first thought is. I feel like a lot of the times people over think it. They’ll have a track looping for like 30 years before they go in the booth. I always feel like you gotta trust your first instinct whatever it is. Of course you listen back, tweak it and perfect it, but initially I like to go with my first instinct and that one came really quick. Me and a cat by the name of Novel came up with that one so fast. Ashanti loved it. It was great, because I actually got to work with her. Busta Rhymes was walking down the hallway. He heard it and wanted to lay a verse on it. Stuff like that just be happening. Stories like that seem like they only be happening in the movies happen to me. It just happened so organic.”
