David Guetta, Lady Gaga and Enrique All Fought Over THIS Song | Lauren Christy

[@slobodankupresak6548]

I’m so happy to see people behind the scene getting the recognition ❤

[@jeslawzo]

I love how the intro is The Veronicas - Untouched

[@SnazzyBoxx]

Toby worked with them on that track and many more on their album ‘Hook Me Up’ 😁

[@frankiegarcia2488]

Love that song not sure if I would have caught that without your comment

[@blazingstar9638]

@@SnazzyBoxxno way cool

[@Dj_db]

I go ooh ooh you go ahh ahh ... A lalala a lalala 😂

[@MrTgleason]

But this is a different version, I wanna know who did this remix!

[@jp__teco]

can't help but smile while picturing the scene where a bad moody 16 years old avril plays SOAD and says "that's what i wanna do", specially if we take into consideration the time and place the music industry was back in the early 2000s for young girls. love her for that.

[@officialnicholas1]

she seems so nice and relatable. i see why a lot of people like working with her. i feel like shes so easy to talk to.

[@MissCarrieH]

I love that she is crediting Avril's songwriting ❤ I feel like people (men) tend to really underestimate her artistry

[@kaikun2236]

I've only ever heard other women criticize her. But I'm a man so I guess I should just kill myself for existing

[@thesoul2sqeeze]

Artists don't steal ..well they do ..but good ones don't 😅

[@JoeyContreras]

LOVE this. I was obsessed with everything The Matrix wrote back in the 2000s.

[@dannyi730]

Lauren Christy!!! A legend. And I’ll never forget her solo career songs “Walk this Earth Alone” and “Color of the Night”

[@ToyotaCatto]

I love those songs! ❤

[@annamendoza3479]

Thank you to the algorithm for recommending this video to me. While listening, I did a quick Google search and discovered one of my favorite songs growing up was hers - Steep.

[@redjaypatalinghug1090]

I love Lauryn Christy's song called Steep. It's one of my faves. Did not expect she wrote some of Avril's (who I love btw) biggest hits.

[@bev9708]

THANKS so much for this!!! Way back in the day Elton John gave enormous recognition and visibility to his writing partner Bernie Taupin, and we all thought that that would be the way of the future for song writers !!! Unfortunately it still hasn’t turned out that way but perhaps now with the popularity of podcasts and "behind the scenes" stories and analyses , we can see that truly begin to happen!!!

[@luann_araujo]

Toby Gad and Lauren Christy: two music legends together 😊❤

[@charmlove6162]

I remember she worked with Katy Perry before but it didn't went well. She asked Katy to sing like Avril since Avril was so popular back then.

[@saijanaswamy7210]

I can see why it didn't work well..i'd be pissed as an artist if the person i'm working wifh keeps asking me to create like another trendy popular artist at the time...i think both artists are also *compleatly* diffrent anyway

[@isidromartinez4368]

Thank you to this genius woman for giving us all these timeless hits! & thank you to the interviewer for recognizing the masterminds behind these hits!

DAMN‼️Just casually name dropping Donna Summer🪩

[@patrickboothe229]

I’ve been a fan of Lauren Christy since Color Of The Night, and her Breed album is one of my all time favorites. It’s been so wonderful and fascinating following her career.

[@sergeysrgk]

Was my favorite song for a while

[@Miyahideko]

Ugh i love all this content regarding songwriters. I love music but couldnt play an instrument, have no rhythm, and am completely tone deaf so writing music is like this beyond magical concept to me! And ive been a fan of yours toby for a while so im excited to discover your podcast!

[@AshaDiscoSushi]

I Could Listen To Her Talk All Day🔅

[@hummingbirdcity]

No song that I play at work gets more "What song is this?" moments than I Want What I Want. So underrated, underheard, but so amazing.

[@riptotheoldu]

Truly I found this channel at the perfect timing of my life. I have started truly appreciating song writers this past year even more than some singers. And this channel just ended up on my lap

[@bjarnyg]

a lot of artists could learn from avril lavigne, taking a song that you know will change your life even if it's not your style. too many artists are so concerned about being "genuine" and "authentic".

[@feralkitten1475]

what's wrong with authenticity tho?

[@bjarnyg]

@@feralkitten1475 ask avril lavigne. apparently she took "complicated" even if it was to pop for her cause she knew it would change her life. smart girl. most artists are not that smart.

[@secretahsieg]

I mean it was still genuine and authentic? It was her style but made it more pop to make it to the radio, she has always done that

[@Louie.Oxford]

Thee iconic Lauren Christy. Bless her soul.

[@petrvarfolomeev1993]

She’s right about Russia. The Color of the Night still can be heard a lot on our radio!

[@Popsplaining]

Sometimes you’ve gotta try things creatively you don’t wanna do to go to the next level of your career. Good for Avril Lavigne for taking a creative risk.

Its always interesting to know the important people who contributed to the acts that sing their songs and how the industry works.

[@nephelim9491]

Ohhhh. I still sing STEEP till now. One of the best songs ever!

[@Tracy-s3m]

Wow. She should sing her own songs. Lovely

[@EdwardGiordano]

I was always curious who The Matrix was as I poured over the album notes as a teenager, thank you for this interview!

[@jordanpittmanmusic4753]

Great video! ❤ I never knew who the people were behind The Matrix. Nice to see.

[@sarahfranco6802]

Crazy good interview!!!! Thank youuu. Im happy hearing her work and thought process

Thanks, Toby, for another interesting and enjoyable interview.

[@Itwas2007]

Yes, Lauren, your song Color of the Night was such a huge hit in all post soviet countries, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus! You can still hear it on a radio!

[@olgamoraiti]

When we first met her singin The colour of the night I bet I was not the only one who had no idea she was the creator of so many hits! Love the recognition, she deserves it.

beautiful interview. Thank you Toby

I love Lauren Christy’s debut album and The Song The Color of The Night. Great voice amazing song writer !

[@ZadenZane]

10:02 what a fantastic songwriter she's so obviously a singer, sings beautifully and amazingly well (once warmed up!)

[@itssskobeebiiiitch]

Lmaooo I love that she smokes actually that’s what helps me in the studio come up with harmonys nd different vocal stacks I can do bc I stack like brandy I can’t wait to have a song by this woman

[@gabrielmoro3d]

Great interview! Would love to get lots more of this.

[@SongsYouKnowPodcast]

More to come! Thanks for listening :)

but Steep is like a classic here in the Philippines

[@ShayWatts-o9r]

I love your personality. It means nothing but positivity and happiness. I wish your platform must success and I hope it grows to be something that you’re very proud of. I’m sure you already are very proud of it.

[@mr-hf3eb]

I'd love for you to have Kesha on your show, I know you guys worked on some stuff in the past and think it'd be cool!

[@ArlouXianOrcullo]

lauren christy was also a singer ... i love her songs: colors of the night and steep

[@127ante]

0:11 verty misleading. “Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You)” never went #1 on Billboards Hot 100. It was a Pop airplay chart. Big difference.

[@suorfrio7321]

Not misleading, it was number one. Lots of artists and industry people talk about numer ones in a more general notion, not just the hot 100. The airplay charts, at least back then, used to measure how well the song was doing specifically on radio, which is what matters to writers and producers focused on radio performance. We as the audience tend to focus much more on the hot 100 cause it adds up radio + sales + streaming and more, which is fair cause it gives us a more global performance result of the 100 (or 200) songs that are being consumed the most. If a song does well enough on radio its more than satisfactory for the industry, especially pre 2010, so when a song goes number one on airplay it is regarded as a number 1 song. And also, a song going #1 on airplay will ALWAYS have industry eyes on the song, artists, writers and producers behind it, cause if does well on radio its a great sign, commercially speaking.

[@peterpalmato467]

​@@suorfrio7321Definitely misleading. That song went to #1 on not one Singles chart anywhere in the world. I think it went #1 in Lauren's mind only, sadly.

[@pinoymusikaatbp.7498]

Steep was my fave song of Lauren Christy.

[@pao_alejax]

Wise woman, she gives the glory to Who it’s due. And for that, she will continue to have success. 👏🏼

This is a cool vlog. Just appeared on my feeds and I'm almost done watching it

[@redliv]

What a wonderful story!

[@UriBlack]

I like my Co-Write 🛍️ 🔥 I have to write ✍🏻 a song now? First we will go to lunch with the artist and then then write a song

[@daisylovewilde]

Heck yes. The Matrix. I loved their early work and fight with young Katy Perry before her debut.

[@greggleswong]

This is what AI cannot replicate.

[@atxabaltarra]

The way she speaks it really makes me believe God actually talks to her

[@zsyhan15]

I did not effin know The Matrix is a group. 😮. I know they also did Shadow by Britney Spears. Damn.

Which was a horrible song

[@litavanegas12]

i love korn so cool

[@leanon9220]

Never knew Gaga wanted it !!! Wonder what project it would’ve been for considering it came out when she was recording her BtW album EDIT : correction, the song was released in 2010 but recorded in 2009 which means she wanted it for her tfm album initially- or the fame deluxe initially

[@TheMolabola]

She mentioned that Gaga wanted to do a duet with it, I wonder with who... that would have been huge

[@leanon9220]

@ I think Gaga and Akon maybe/possibly? I don’t know but pretty sure she wanted a male duet

[@jorgepacheco9845]

She should write a song for Marianne Faithfull.

[@ShayWatts-o9r]

I FEEL SO UNTOUCHED RN

[@NicholasS4000]

Very interesting

[@jordonvazquez7620]

Love her accent.

[@Dhhtyu4566]

She has a song on a Batman soundtrack called Breed

[@KenyaModo]

It would be nice to know the percentage written because most of those songs have like 4 writers. Maybe ask which songs she wrote alone in full.

[@itssskobeebiiiitch]

Ohh she is apart of the matrix or was aswell as wrote by herself omg that’s literally my girl

[@blazingstar9638]

KoRn🔥

[@JohnAbraham-ph1ov]

She sang Steep?

[@thomasdanielince]

I songwrite. I would love to be a professional songwriter

[@f33rcetv34]

is your intro inspired by "Untouched" by The Veronicas?

[@dylanbuchman8128]

This is so interesting

[@jrtg1990]

As an agnostic, it's nice to hear God giving people ideas still. Also, she's so cool. I'd trade lives with her!

[@goliaboi]

14:00 that part

[@p.m.6064]

So basically, Avril didn’t contribute anything to her early signature songs except for a few words?

[@delinthecity]

That’s not what Lauren said. If you go back and listen to this video where she mentions that she was 4 months pregnant, but she and Avril laid down on a blanket and knocked out lyrics together, and then she (Lauren) came up with more lyrics and melodies for Complicated later, and Avril went with it.

[@JasmineLajeunesse]

Avril didn’t write complicated? Or sk8erboi?

[@balldalt]

Co-wrote. It took four people.

[@di7787]

Lauren recounts here how they co-wrote

[@JasmineLajeunesse]

Sure, but the way she’s talking it sounds like she’s done most of the writing for this song. And I remember Avril bragging back in the day about what a prolific and great songwriter she was. So I’m surprised to find this out now because they really wanted to make it seem back then like everything was coming from Avril‘s original ideas. Which wasn’t the case. So it’s interesting to me, how they try to sell it to you as a kid, the picture you see isn’t what it is. Anyway. Cool.

[@zsyhan15]

Sorry. This is Toby Gad? A Year Without Rain? 😮

[@thevalkyrie8]

I don’t understand the comment she made about ‘if you are a writer you better be artist or producer too or have master ownership’… I don’t get it… if I hire a producer I do own master ownership if I pay them to produce a song don’t I?

[@glengamble526]

It depends on the deal you sign.

[@earthur715]

Lady gaga wanted it ? I can't imagine this song being sang by her to be honest, Enrique was the great choice.

[@nikosgr9290]

tonight i am loving you didnt go to no1 anywhere, it was a big hit but not a no1 single.

[@davisbrowne1906]

9:13 the real Avril or the replacement?

[@TTripp1]

That doesnt sound like billie jean

[@TylerLethersin]

I don’t think Gaga actually wanted it, I think her label wanted it for her. The sound of the song didn’t fit what she was putting out in 2010 & this was the era where she was starting born this way. I’m assuming the label wanted it for her because of the title of the song.

[@TylerLethersin]

I do think her song x dreams was heavily influenced tho by it tho. I think that’s why her label wanted it, but thr production on it, like it doesn’t sound like a gaga song at all imo
