AceShowbiz - Zedd opened up about how he met Selena Gomez for the first time in a radio interview with 97.1 AMP Radio. Speaking to host Booker on Thursday morning, February 26 about his new song with Selena "I Want You To Know", Zedd was asked how he ended up making the song.
Zedd shared, "It was about as random as it gets. I had a day off, and I don't have a lot of days off, and I decided to go buy stuff for my house because I just moved, so I have an empty house and I had to pee. And I had my engineer with me, so I was like, 'I hope they have a bathroom here.' And he said, 'You know what? Just go over to the studio over there,' which was across the street from my studio."
"He was like, 'They have a bathroom. Just go use that.' I was like, 'All right!' So I walk in and John, the head of our label who had just signed Selena, was there," he went on, "He was like, 'Oh! What are you doing here?' I said, 'I just have a day off. I don't take a lot of days off! Don't be mad! I'm still working on the record!' And he's like, 'Okay. Have you ever met Selena?' That was literally the next thing he said. I was like, 'Uh, no.' "
"So he introduced me to her and was like, 'Hey, she's cool. Maybe we should make a song together.' And then like a week later, we started working on a song... all because I had to pee!" he added.
Of his new track with Selena, Zedd said they would announce the music video release "soon." When asked if he would appear in the music video, the 25-year-old DJ replied, "Yes, I will, actually. I'm always in my videos, didn't you know? The first thing I tell the director is that I'm a horrible actor and I can't lie, so I just don't want to be in it too much, but yes, I will be in the video and it will come out very, very soon. It has [been shot already]."
