From an Interview of Mike Will At Bloomberg Business Week by Devin Leonard
“(Mike) WiLL didn’t know Cyrus, but (Peter) Edge did. She was signed to RCA. WiLL talked her into recording We Can’t Stop, coaching her through it. “I was like, ‘Yo, use that country twang,’ ” WiLL recalls. “ ‘I hear it, but you are trying to hide it.’ So she started using her country twang. That made it all-the-way dope.”
