Speaker 1 (00:00):
Listen, We're blessed by an Australian icon in the studio.
Today Girls two point three million sales worldwide, streamed over
ninety one million times. You can watch her on Dancing
with the Stars currently on Channel seven. Maybe a brand
new single le's quite your attention.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hi guys, welcome to the studio. Look, we're going to
get into Dancing with the Stars in a minute because
we love watching you on that and you mean absolutely
killing it. But first talk to us about Peachy, this
brand new song. What was the insco behind it?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Do you know what?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I was so excited to go in and write because
I hadn't put out a song in ages, like it's
been two years, I think since I've put out something.
But I when we went to the studio, I was like,
I want to write something really pop and really fun
and really happy. And I'd just kind of written the
Christmas song and same kind of vibe, like just that
really pop, nostalgic. It sounds like the two thousands, that
kind of thing. And it was the chords actually, we
(00:53):
had these like chords that like that kind of like
and it sounds that you've heard it before. And I
was like, let's just write something really really fun and
then we had every lyric except that now I'm saying
life is and it was that line and Morgan, the
producer goes peachy, and I was like, I love that
because that just kind of burts a whole new idea,
like the artwork and everything now is going to be
(01:15):
so fun.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You say you took two years off between releasing songs.
What was why for the break? What was the reason
behind that.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I just was like, you know, I'd put something out
and then I wasn't not not inspired, but I'd written
some songs and I was like, they're not They're not it,
They're not good enough. And I never want to put
something out just to put it out, you know. I
want to put something out that I really really love.
So I just took my time with it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Do you not have pressure though from the record label?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah, like to be able to keep creating. How do
you put it back on that?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I wrote something that I don't want anyone to hear it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, I've done that before, and they're like, so you do,
won't just even just send it? And I'm like no,
because if then if they like it, then they'll be
like we should put it out.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, yeah, that's so interesting. Do you get pressure from
the music labels as well? And you see it on TikTok?
But artists that are forced to make tiktoks and then
you watch them and they're so inauthentic and you've got
Mike like doing a dance and you're like, you're a
dad man. Does the label go like, Sam, get up
there and you post your TikTok, put a little pretty
shot on and do a TikTok day?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
They used to. I'm really lucky now that I'm kind
of in control of all of that, but yeah, I
used to like have a social media manager at the
label and be like, hey, you need to do this,
you need to do that.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, And I'd be.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Like, oh, really, when you're creating songs or you're coming
up with a new idea, does any part of you
have TikTok in mind? And the reason I say that
is we were speaking to Megan Trader not that long
ago and she was like, look, I almost owe TikTok
to my revamp because I wanted to get spend viral.
So now there are artists that are actually taking that
into consideration.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Do you oh yeah, well, yeah, you kind of have
to because TikTok's such a huge platform for music now
and I feel like as well, it's if you do
have a chorus that you feel like lends itself to
that world. It's not a bad thing. So yeah, definitely,
I don't. It's not like front of mine. But I'm like, afterwards,
I always think, what's the TikTok part going to be?
You know, because it's always a part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Which is the dance partner?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Speaking of dance, how are you finding
Dancing with the Stars at the moment because you've just
had a perfect ten out of ten school.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I can't relate.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
About Laura was on last season. For anyone that missed it,
you really don't need to rewatch. You just need to
know that she was described as a praying mantis on asset.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
But that's yeah, Craig, who is not particularly very kind.
No you would if you watch. He was so mean
and then he said, Laura, you're kind of like moving
a lot, and you remind me of a praying mantison acid.
But you can't relate to that because you've gotten a
perfect scorek.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I just know when it gets to him, I'm like, Okay,
I'm just gonna get I'm just gonna get it over
and done with. Give me the mean comments. But I've
really trained really really hard. I mean, Gustavo, my dance partner,
was an incredible teacher, especially with Latin, like he taught me.
I mean even just like it was like heels off,
We're going to get our feet into the ground and
you know how they kind of start from like you
have to connect with the floor. And it was like
(03:54):
really intense training and very very hard. But and I
was at times going like what are we doing? And
then when it got to the day, I was like, oh,
I get what he was doing now because it is
in my head.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
We adorn you, Sam. The new song Peachy is out now,
so fun, like perfect, especially with the mob of music
at the moment, it fits right in. And keep watching
Sam Dancing with the Stars next Sunday, August four, seven
pm on Channel seven and seven plus. We'll see you soon, Sam.
