The Dallas Mavericks player, JaVale McGee, had met Justin Bieber’s writer, Poo Bear, and paid him $13,000 dollars to write him two EDM songs. Even though he didn’t use it, McGee stayed in touch with him.

After 5-6 years, McGee made Bear listen to another track that the writer liked. The duo started writing a song. McGee recalled the writing process and was seemingly humbled by the process.

His interest in music was as ardent and long-staying as his professional basketball career. McGee has been on many teams for over a decade and networked with several producers as well.
