Wilson Dishes On Her Songwriting Process For Popular Track
One of the hits on Lainey Wilson’s most recent album, Whirlwind, is “4x4xU.” Recently, Lainey opened up about writing this song, and gave her fans a glimpse into her songwriting approach. So, what did the singer and songwriter reveal about how she wrote this song?
According to Wilson, she said: “That one feels right. I guess that’s the word. We wrote that song in 30 minutes. I don’t normally write songs in 30 minutes. I’ll write for six hours and maybe come back to it the next day cause I just want to go through it with a fine-tooth comb. But this was not one that I feel like I needed to do that. I feel like it just was what it was. When we got into the studio, [producer] Jay Joyce does his thing…makes it country but makes it broad.”
