I had too much fun remaking this one, such an iconic song! Thanks for having me once again 🙏

[@SongwriterPorshia]

You’re TOO GOOD 💜

[@pietromattiatedesco]

Si vede che Ryan Tedder è fra i tuoi preferiti!

[@badhabit]

@@pietromattiatedesco he’s the king 👑

[@pietromattiatedesco]

@@badhabit of course!

[@sggr2200]

can you remake King of Hearts by Kim Petras? I wanna know how to produce such a powerful and upbeat song!

[@ZennitMusic]

This channel doesnt get hundreds of thousands of views but I hope that'll never be a reason for you guys to stop uploading such gems. As a producer these feel so good to watch and I feel like I can speak for everyone when saying that we're all thankful for it❤

[@Studio]

Very glad to hear this, thank you! More videos coming soon!

[@adriancb1551]

Please never stop doing this tutorials 🤯🤯

[@Studio]

[@yeezythabest]

What i like about Badhabit's tutorials is how generous he is. He put's intentionality in every details and explains things in a very simple yet very effective way. Kudos

[@starstrux]

Badhabit should try doing Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo next!

[@anyanwuboris6177]

You always kill these remakes man. Respect!

[@thejohnhoang]

amazing remake good job!!

[@stevestr2258]

15:46 speaking of edm I would love to see a video in which you remake an edm song from the 2010s. Loved the heavy synths and big sounds which unfortunately are kind of absent these days. Just intense, heavy productions and some great examples I can think of are outside or burn by ellie goulding and songs by david guetta

[@TheJacob80]

Amazing! can u do Bad Romance or Born this way or any Lady Gaga’s hits?

[@one1pay739]

I love your tutorials, badhabit❤

[@Bashanvibe]

I’m forever in love with your attention to detail!!! Playing this song live I would have went to the basic choir pad piano and synth that was close enough!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@footballlegacy5574]

This is amazing the way you explain everything was on point this video is Gold

[@badhabit]

thanks so much!!

[@SongwriterPorshia]

I’m so glad you’re covering an older HIT song 🎵 we can use these tools 🛠️ 🧰 thank you 🙏🏾 😊

[@andriisydiuk1769]

Amazing!!! Thank you, Bad Habit

[@nickymusic7776]

What an amazing video! I'm new to the channel and I'm amazed how much quality content is already on here. Would love to see some more breakdown videos from that era, e.g. some Max Martin songs like Dynamite by Taio Cruz. Keep up the great work!

These videos are really helpful. I wish there were more people on youtube that make videos like these without having to pay hundreds of dollars to watch someone make a song.

[@Luis-rs1kg]

Can you do a video on how to produce „Into You“? I still haven’t gotten behind how they made that bass sound that good

[@the4everhmong]

[@Zachan_TedkinsO_0]

Am I the only person who thinks of Ryan Tedder when I think of Halo. I know it is so stupid and random but like... It makes me laugh every time because it is so random. Great video

[@SchibbiSchibbi]

i love to watch someone using Sylenth1, it's still a killer synth and such a intuitive UI, much easier to handle than Serum IMO and definitely low on CPU

[@QueMusiQ]

Wow. Great attention to detail

[@Studio]

Thanks!

[@R-Winder]

I'd like to see The Weeknd - One of the girls remake. It's fairly simple but with beautiful synths by Mike Dean and I wonder how to get that sound.

[@Ya-rol]

Crack

[@BR_READDY225]

It may be her biggest song to her, but definitely not the biggest of the century.

[@garethde-witt6433]

Why would anyone want to it’s a crap song from a crap artist
