You might be a legend one day if you just keep your head to the ground and never get overzealous and start thinking you've outdone yourself. That's the space I try to stay in.

The first two songs that I wrote, produced and demoed with my voice on it was that song and then Akon's Sorry, Blame It On Me. The first two demos I ever wrote and demoed, the two biggest artists at the time took them.

I don't like when everything sounds the same.

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.

Beyoncé don't get a lot of leaks. She just has a very tight control. Most of the time, that's generally not the case, but I pretty much follow her direction.

No one's selling records anymore, so there's no income you're being robbed of. I think that you should be in alignment with the world. The world is about sharing now, so as long as it's out there, it should be there. I think it's fine.

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.
