One of the three writer’s on the track, Mali Music, spoke about this record’s process in an interview with The Boombox:

‘Bring Back the Music’ is one of the ones that we did at Jerry Wonda’s studio. But I wanted to approach it differently, I wanted to connect to her. I didn’t want to be a person who [said], “Hey this is a song that means a lot of me, but you can sing it!” I didn’t want to come at it like that. I was explaining it to her, and she was just looking at me like, “You are crazy!” I want you to talk to me, I want you to share your deepest ideas, just concepts you have for songs or something that you saw on TV that you thought was profound. I recorded a 20-minute audio clip on my phone of her just expressing herself, talking about it and I wrote all the songs from her thoughts and feelings. I would structure it with music, use certain quotes that she would, she would put a twang on something, I’d put a twang on it in the song so when I re-presented it to her, they were her babies. None of them were foreign.
