'Wanna Be That Song' has everything I want to say about love and about what I'm trying to be.

I think the emotion that song carries makes it good. Because you have to produce around something - an emotional attachment and a feeling. The melody itself has a feeling in it.

The emotional connection. Because if you don't have that, I don't think you really have a song.
