Generally, you're always shooting in the dark with Beyonce. She's just creative and eclectic and up on always trying to be ahead of the game. That was the moment of me trying to figure out how I wanted to give her another moment.

One half was like, I hope this doesn't affect it, and the other half was like, it's great that people know I did a Beyoncé record.

I never feel like I've done good enough. That's why I'm always so excited about working because I gotta keep pushing myself to do better work, to do great work.

I'm always constantly doing stuff with Beyonce in mind. Anytime I hear a beat I think she'll love, I'll put something to it and go from there and hopefully it's something that she's in the mood for doing.What exactly were you trying to accomplish with this song?

At that point, when songs got leaked, it was cool though too because then you started getting recognition beforehand.

Beyonce is such a visual artist. This was just trying to figure out another side to her that could be fun and young and exciteful and a great video.

I made the record, and I sent it over to Jay Brown, who was working on Rihanna's album. He was like, "Send me that record for Rihanna."
