“She’s just a wealth of knowledge and she’s a huge supporter and a huge encourager,” Jake told People of Kelly after his win. “Hopefully the road doesn’t end here, and I’ll be able to get to work with her moving forward. But everything’s just been incredible.”
Jake told Everything Nash that Kelly had previously suggested they collaborate. “She called me back immediately and she said, ‘I want to shout this from the rooftops. Yes, I’m in,’” he recalled of her first time hearing the song.
