BONNIE MCKEEI think the difference between a good song and a great song is… honestly, I think the lyrics, because if you have a really solid melody and solid track and everything is there but then the lyric is just okay, then you’ve got a good song.
BONNIE MCKEEI had an epiphany where I realised that there are song titles everywhere – in advertising, in conversations with people at the grocery store – and every time I open my mind to that and find titles, I then weave a story around that.
BONNIE MCKEEObviously I love writing with Katy [Pery], I feel like we’re the same person when we write together. Even though we fight a lot, we fight over every line and we pull each other’s hair and we cat-fight all the time, it’s always worth it in the end.
BONNIE MCKEEI am a little crazy but when I’m on-stage, then I really get to play it up and perform and be over the top and it’s like an outlet. It’s fun to ‘wild’ out.
BONNIE MCKEEWhen I write for myself, I just get to be myself.
BONNIE MCKEEI just want to give people something to dance to, and something to cry to, and laugh to and fall in love to.
BONNIE MCKEEI think I’ve learnt a lot about bullying and how to deal with bullying and how to get over that and to just be yourself and forget the haters.
BONNIE MCKEEAs long as I can reach somebody, then I feel like I’m doing my job.
BONNIE MCKEEKe$ha is super talented and super fun and always down to party – I love that girl.
BONNIE MCKEEI’m a really visual artist, and I love writing treatments for music videos, photo shoots, fashion, and all the visual parts that go along with making an album.
BONNIE MCKEEIn real life I’m pretty easy going and pretty chill, I’m not the party girl who will go wild and crazy necessarily.
BONNIE MCKEEI love really kitschy bad movies. Showgirls is one of my favorites. I saw House of Versace and died. I’m a big fan of made-for-TV movies because those are instant classics, naturally.
BONNIE MCKEEIt’s nice to really have the freedom to write what I want.
BONNIE MCKEEIf you can take it to the next level and really tell an interesting story in a unique and fresh way, then I feel like that’s a great song.
BONNIE MCKEEI was writing songs as a kid about leprechauns and Catwoman and teapots – whatever it is that little girls wanna sing about.
