one.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:29

Barely Made at Home is a song that I found.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:34

It's a friend of mine, Warren Sellers.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:36

He's the co-writer on that.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:38

And he works together with a guy that actually wrote the Paw Patrol song, the theme song of Paw Patrol.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:45

All right.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:46

We've got some grandkids.

8:47

We

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:48

know that.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:49

He's swimming in some money somewhere there in California.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:55

Yeah, he had some of these songs, and they were really catchy.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

8:58

And I always look for a certain vibe.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:01

I try to do something different with every song that I have on an album.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:06

And this is kind of a sexy song to me and a lot of fun.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:11

Playful.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:13

So for me, it was just a perfect summer single.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:16

So that's why I think we put it out in June.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:18

And we got a lot of good feedback out of that song.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:22

So that's good.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:22

And from the younger people as well, which is something that, hey, you're still relevant.

M

Mark BlomsteelGuest

9:27

You're still kind of cool.

9:28

There you go.

9:30

You're scoring points with your daughters.
