Frank Ocean & Tyler, The Creator write song for Justin Bieber
In a new interview with Billboard, Tyler, The Creator revealed that he and Frank wrote a song for Justin Bieber’s new album Believe that was rejected by the teen pop star.
From Billboard:
He says he and Odd Future member Frank Ocean, who won two Grammys earlier this year, wrote a song for Bieber’s Believe album that got rejected.
“I’ve got so many beats and songs, but no one’s giving me a chance yet,” he says. “I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. He’s one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter.”
Of course, Frank already has a writing credit in Bieber’s catalog. “Bigger,” which appears on My World, was written by Bieber, Frank Ocean, Dapo Torimiro, and Midi Mafia (Kevin Risto and Waynne Nugent).
