Billy Ray Cyrus had to chop a dope lyric from the 'Old Town Road' remix
The "Achy Breaky Heart" singer recounted how he was asked to write a verse for the remix, “batted around a couple of ideas” with Jozzy, and completed the task within 10 minutes.
The song is now familiar to millions, but Cyrus didn’t get his way in the verse which opens, “Hat down, cross town, livin' like a rockstar/ Spent a lot of money on my brand new guitar.” He recalls, "For some reason, I immediately thought it was funny to say, ‘Baby’s got a habit: diamond rings and marijuana.’ See it is funny. They said, ‘Everything but the marijuana.’ [Jozzy] said, ‘How about Fendi sports bra?’ I thought, ‘It’s probably good because I don’t know what that is. Boom, that kinda happened, we rolled with it in minutes.’"
Also during the on-air chat, Cyrus walked through his initial invitation with Columbia Records and how he heard the track on Tik Tok and “immediately thought it was a hit.” And there was a brief moment when he was unsure whether he could hit the high note. “Once I got up there," he said, "it was a lot of fun.”
