Britney Spears Songs 2013: Sebastian Ingrosso Explains 'Work Bitch' Rumors
Britney Spears recently caused a stir when she announced that a DJ and former Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso wrote her first single "Work Bitch" in her upcoming album. Many of her fans, as well as EDM fans, were curious and excited to find out about Ingrosso's musical involvement with the pop star.
Apparently the song wasn't produced by Sebastian Ingrosso, and at TomorrowWorld in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, he sits down with MTV and clears up any "Work Bitch" rumors and confusion regarding production of the song.
Britney tweeted out the "lyrics," which turned out to be production credits, and Ingrosso's name was on the list. Also, she posted a photo of it on Instagram. On his Twitter, Sebastian responded by saying that he didn't actually write "Work Bitch" and the credit goes to fellow Swedish and his artist Otto Jettman, better known as Otto Knows.
"I don't' really know why they put my name in there. It's a really good song and I'm looking forward to see what's going to happen with it. But I cant' really take credit for it," he said.
"I'm always involved musically with the people I manage. I manage two artists right now, Otto Knows and Alesso, and I'm always involved. I say to my artists, 'you should do a little more like that, maybe do it more like this,' that's my job."
Even though Ingrosso didn't write the song, he's personally responsible for the song's beginnings. "So about the Britney track, I manage a guy called Otto Knows, and I'm good friends with will.i.am. He asked me if I had any ideas, so Otto gave me some beats and I went down to will and we played it and he loved it."
"I put my hands on it and I helped produce it with will and Otto, but I never wrote the lyrics or melodies to the song, which is why I went on Twitter and said that I didn't write the song. But I helped produce it because I'm involved with everything with the guys I manage."
In fact, Britney and Ingrosso still haven't met each other. "I heard she's very nice," the DJ comments.
Britney's album will be out on December 3. According to Sebastian Ingrosso, she is still working on the album. He and Otto are "still in the hoop."
