Hello, my name is Roomie and I'm here with Shawn Mendes!
Today we thought we would write
a song for you guys and sort of let you in on the songwriting process.
- What chords do you think should play? - Let's do it in like G major.
- Yeah I'll just play like G, D, E minor, C
- That's great! - Why don't we write a chorus of the song,
and come up with like a melody so I'll just play like... Whatever melody you have
- When you're feeling down... Hehe, something about frown, thats awful xD It's almost like,
the first rhymes you think of are always the worst, like "If you're feeling down, turn
that frown upside down", that sort of thing like "oh my God"...
- That's a perfect rhyme xD - When you're feeling down, ooh...
- I like that, sounds cool! Keep going! - When you're feeling down, we've got the
same freaking line over and over again, yeah! - That's what happens! xD What happens when
you're feeling down? - Call your mom? You know like, "mom, I'm down"
Do you do that? - So, we can make it funny then! xD
When you're feeling down... - You can call your mom!
- Yeah, do that! When you're feeling down... Don't call your
dad, your dad's at work and he don't want to get disturbed so, call your mom! Call your
mom, she's at home, maybe, that's sort of sexist but really not
- Not really, haha xD When you're feeling down you can, you can
Call your mom, yeaah... When you're feeling down, you can
Call your mom, she'll be around, yeah! Don't ever have that frown, 'cause your mom will be there
when you're feeling down, yeah! (Come on!) You can call your mom, yeah, when you're feeling down
You can call your mom when you're feeling down (Don't have that frown, no frowns)
If you don't want no frown,
You can call your mom when you're feeling down You can call your mom, can you do a harmony?
When you're feeling down You can call your mom when you're feeling down, yeah
- Shawn Mendes!
- I call my mom when I'm feeling down x) - Yeah yeah, me too! x) Sometimes I call my
dad though. - Yeah!
- That's a second verse, c'mon, 1 2 3 4! You can call your dad...
If you're feeling sad - That's great! xD
Don't be mad, 'cause you can call your dad (uh) You can call your mom, you can call your dad too
You can call your sister
Your brother and your nephew! Your nephew, you should call your nephew!
Right now if you're feeling down, uh! Call your nephew, call your nephew
- Call your mom, here we go! Sing it out! You can call your mom when you're feeling down
You can call your mom
Don't have that frown! You can call your dad if you're feeling sad
(That's great!) You can call your mom if you're feeling down
You can call ya, you can call ya, you can call ya, call ya,
You can call ya... You can call ya, call ya You can call your mom if your feeling down
- That's a song right there guys! - Just remember, you can call your mom if
you're feeling down, or your dad, if you're sad
- That's true! - Your sister, nephew, brother...
- Yeah... Uncle... I call my uncle - I call my uncle from time to time, when
I'm feeling... It's very hard to find a rhyme with uncle xD
- Ok, so that was my songwriting session with singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes!
