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

“Marry Go Round” – Nelly feat. Chris Brown

“That one was wild. That was one of the most memorable sessions just because a lot of the times when artists come to the studio you have time to prep for them. They come in and ask what you have so far and you’ll play them your ideas. They’ll vibe for a bit and say they love it or hate it or whatever and you’ll build from there. But with this situation, Da Internz produced the record and only had the beat done. Nelly walked in and asked what we had. We didn’t have nothing. I didn’t have nothing, but was like ‘Yeah. I got something.’ So by the time I walked to the booth and set up my headphones that melody came out. It was crazy. I walked out and they were like ‘That’s crazy. That’s what you’ve been working on?’ If only they knew that I came up with that right on the spot [laughs]. It was cool, because he loved it. He was open to whatever we had. I did the hook and he asked if I heard a verse. I was like, ‘A verse? You rap, but yeah, I hear a verse.’ So I went in and started doing his old school stuff. I took it back to Country Grammar. They made that the single.
