00:00We're here at the number one's party and what is it? What is the magic behind making a hit song a
00:06hit song
00:08hit song
00:09First of all, I think you have to really
00:12feel it in your heart the music has to be honest and
00:16genuine in order to
00:19In order for the fans to enjoy it as well. So it's got to come from here
