      It’s because he has written thousands of songs it’s just natural for him. It’s just very hard work. He said that when he started he would wake up learn guitar before school, then at school breaks he would learn guitar in music class then come home and play until he went to sleep and repeated that every day. Then two years later he started writing songs once he was good at guitar 1 to 5 a day everyday and never stopped. He moved out at 16 and busked every day on the streets for around 4 years until he got recognition from a performance on ‘sbtv’ then had his album plus come out and ever since he has just become greater and greater. I would say he probably put in 12,000 hours before he made his first successful album. So the 10,000 hour rule works. Btw the 10,000 hour rule means you can master anything in 10,000 hours, well not master but become great. I’m so proud of Ed for proving everyone wrong,he is the last person anyone would think of to become a successful musician and he did it 👏👏Anyway here we are and Ed’s on top of the world. The lesson we can learn is if you put the work in and I mean work,you can truly do whatever you want to in life, accept from being president of America if you’re born somewhere else lol.
      Try not to do what you want for the wrong reasons like, money and fame though because it’s just societal cravings that are portrayed to make us happy. We can never satisfy our cravings in life, I mean look around,do most rich people seem happy, the ones that do are happy (meaning they have more happy experiences) because they have time to progress themselves and that makes them feel good. The only thing that can satisfy in life is loved ones and our experiences in life. Oh and the whole happiness think, it’s rubbish. Without sad moments humans would fail to survive. Its programmed into us. Think of it this way if we was always happy, why get out of bed in the morning. enjoy all feelings for they are all a blessing. Also sadness is what makes you want to do something for yourself,so it’s a good thing. Anyway sorry for going philosophical. It’s just everyone over values money in todays world and spends their lives in autopilot longing for whatever others want. Don’t be a sheep, find your own meaning even if it’s looking at a wall for 6 hours a day😂 I don’t know. There is no meaning to any of this, or maybe there is but it doesn't matter ether way, so you can do whatever you want but to live a virtuous fulfilling life is way more rewarding. If you do make something big for yourself pass your knowledge on, don’t be selfish otherwise there was no point in you existing then and have children because you basically pass on yourself in them. I mean all the brilliant minds we’ve had and most of them never shared how they did what they did, it could’ve help us. I’ll shut up now, lol

      He also asked if he had any relationship stuff to write about and Ed said he doesn’t really want to write about that. So Benny goes “well write about that then” which becomes “I didn’t want to write a song”. Literally as good as a producer gets right there.

      ​@@icedking6268 Love Yourself has been streamed over 1.4 billion times on Spotify alone, their payout rate being on average $0.0032 per stream, that's over $4 million in revenue from 1 platform alone (granted, Ed won't receive all of the royalties, but he's entitled to at least 1/3 of those paid to the 3 songwriters). Then add all the radio play, with most major stations being charged between $50 - $200 per play - Love Yourself was the most played song on American radio in 2016, with over 4 billion impressions. Then add TH-cam views - over 1.4 billion on the official video alone (TH-cam pay figures are harder to accurately calculate but taking into account the average they supposedly pay between, $3 and $5 per 1,000 video views, the figure is at the least $4million, at most $9 million (this doesn't include the revenue from all the separately uploaded versions, official and unofficial, covers, etc.) Then add royalties from streams with the other leading streaming services such as Apple, Amazon, Tidal, Google, etc. (impossible to calculate figures due to insufficient data), easily into the tens of millions of dollars. Then add royalties from its use in TV, film and media (insufficient data), easily into the hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars. Then add the royalties from the purchase of the single as a digital download (over 15 million copies according to various sources) and the album which contains the single (be it digital download or a physical copy, Ed will receive a cut from every copy sold, the rate of which is different based on the format purchased - lowest amount being from digital download, then CD, then vinyl, etc). Of course the two previous figures might also take into account album-equivalent unit sales from streaming but still, we are talking the generation of millions of dollars just from one song.

    When I play this live I like to play an extra pre chorus at the end so I can play the line he didn’t put in and people love it. “My brother don’t mind you but he knows I was wrong”

    It's nuts to see the moment an artist finds a great line of lyrics or a melody in real time. It's cool to know "okay, he was wearing blue sweats in a tour bus when he came up with that". Inspiring to a peasant like me.

    for anyone who asks what benny blanco does. "is there any relationship shit...or nah?" and the love yourself vs. fuck yourself.
    he guides the artist casually toward where the song needs to go. such an valuable skill.

      I am pretty sure no one thought Justin wrote this about Selena, as many thought it was about another girl he was dating... who was seeking clout. However, it's clear now he didn't even write the song.

  • @littlemissbekah9722

    I love that the original said f yourself. The first time I heard it I thought it sounded off and thought he was going to sing that instead. Fits better but is a better hit when it says love yourself. Producer was right.

    I love it when he decides to change "fuck yourself" to "love your self". I always felt like he did it on purpose to give it a sense of maturity. That one remix that the girl sings based on the girl's perspective has "fuck yourself" and it just seems sad (in a bad way) that she said it like that.
