Callista and Jimmie – Wish You Wouldn’t Together :32
Callista Clark – “To me, it wasn’t even a contest about who I wanted to be on this song. The first person I thought about was Jimmie. I was like, I’m just gonna send it to him because the worst thing he can do is ignore me. And I was so nervous when I sent him the song, and I didn’t expect him to answer at all, and he answered within like five minutes.”
Jimmie Allen – “I’m the person like, if the song doesn’t grab me in the first 35 seconds, I don’t want nothin’ to do with it. But it grabbed me. Like as soon as the beat drop and her voice came on, I was like, oh yeah. I didn’t even listen to the rest of it when I said yes. I was just into it,l. One, because of how much love and respect I have for you, and just the song’s great.”
Again, you can find “Wish You Wouldn’t,” with Callista and Jimmie, on the Deluxe version of her debut album, Real to Me: The Way I Feel, which is available now wherever you stream or download music.
