ZICO’s exceptional song-producing skills have gained him renown in the K-pop industry as he continues to produce hit after hit, a reputation he has maintained since his days with Block B.
During the interview, Jonathan probed into the complexities of ZICO’s creative process, leading to a frank disclosure about the origins of his partnership with JENNIE.
Behind the Scenes of a Musical Masterpiece
When inquired about his most profitable accomplishment, ZICO chuckled and then specifically mentioned “Any Song”as a potential highest earner.
“I mean, I would want to give all of them a kiss, to be honest. But if I have to pinpoint the top earner, it would likely be ‘Any Song,’”ZICO quipped.
Nevertheless, the focus of the discussion turned to ZICO’s most recent partnership with JENNIE, highlighted by the debut of “SPOT!”on April 26.
In contrast to traditional methods, ZICO disclosed that he did not choose a pre-existing song and then look for a featured artist. Instead, he customized the track specifically for JENNIE.
“I didn’t pick the song first and then decide on the featuring artist. I thought, ‘I want to collaborate with JENNIE,’ and then created the song. ‘SPOT!’ was crafted specifically for JENNIE,” ZICO explained.
Tailored Creations: ZICO’s Methodical Approach to Collaboration
ZICO revealed his strong dedication by carefully creating six songs for JENNIE and presenting them to her.
“Every one of them was tailored for JENNIE. Before presenting our collaborative tracks to JENNIE, I narrowed them down to two. If there was only one option, it might not capture her interest, you know,” he elaborated.
When discussing the collaborative process, ZICO stressed the importance of understanding JENNIE’s artistic subtleties.
“We hadn’t worked together before, so I had to understand JENNIE’s style. JENNIE tends to interpret the song herself. Instead of proposing options, I simply kept recording and would say, ‘I like that part,’ when I found something I liked,” he shared.
