Songwriter Savan_Kotecha gave us the lowdown on how ddlovato and samsmith’s triumphant new bop IMREADY came together
“I said how big of a fan that I am of Demi’s voice, and they said ‘Oh my god, I love her.’ I texted her because I knew that she was already a big fan of Sam, and she immediately agreed to do a song,” Kotecha says. “Months later, we were in Los Angeles together at a studio and got it done. It took a few days to get written and perfected, along with some weeks on the production side, but it was just really organic and out of two artists being fans.
While recording “I’m Ready,” the booth was full of smiles, laughs, and good energy. “They got along so well,” Kotecha says. “They clearly had so much respect and love for each other.” He had a bit of a fanboy moment when he realized the scope of what was happening. “We were sitting there, and I was pinching myself because you rarely ever get two such great talents in a room together.”
You can hear all manner of high fives, chest bumps, and tight hugs on “I’m Ready,” just through the chemistry that manifests through the celebratory air. As their voices swell and soar with each other, you’re reminded of what the song is saying: The time for affection is now. Kotecha underscores this with more agency: “‘I’m Ready’ is about being open and living in a space where you want to be loved and accept love itself.
