In a video posted on the 28-year-old musician’s TikTok page in late June, Santiago enthusiastically recalled the events leading up to the creation of “Choke on It”, a collaboration with Lovato that appears on the pop star’s upcoming album, Holy Fvck. which drops August 19.
Following a popular TikTok third-person storytelling format, Santiago said in the clip, “Put a finger down if your editor called you one day and asked if you had any interest in writing for other artists instead of just writing for yourself.”
When it came time for the studio session, Santiago said she was “scared” and “so nervous” that she almost cancelled. “But your whole crew is yelling at you and telling you that you have to go,” she said. “And then you end up hitting it off, and you have a great time at the session, and you write a really cool song.”
Santiago’s budding friendship with Lovato didn’t end there, as they later exchanged numbers. “And then you text them and tell them how much they mean to you, and how much their music has meant to you, and how you learned to sing [by singing] their songs in the car when you were a little girl,” the musician added. “And the next thing you know, they’re asking you if you want to come and write more songs for the album.”
