Swizz told RollingStone earlier:
The idea of the song is ‘We’re not gonna leave you stranded,’ and that’s what the chorus is.
And MTV now:
“Me and Bono, he’s a music lover, I’m a music lover. We knew each other for a while through [Interscope chairman] Jimmy Iovine. He’s with Jimmy. We share a lot of mutual friends though the art world. Enrico Navarra, which is one of my art mentors, is one of his art mentors. We always hook up in France. I go to his crib, we go to Enrico’s crib. He does art. It’s like a musical/art/philanthropic relationship that’s there. He’s an amazing guy. He has an amazing family. He embraced me and my people with open arms. He’s a brother.”
The song will debut on Friday during the George Clooney and MTV Networks telethon Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief, airing at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
