I've noticed sometimes my energy changes depending on who I’m hanging out with. When you get too serious, you think, “Oh, it's too embarrassing.” You also have to make sure you notice what the friends that are around you are like. He’s three but he's really letting me rediscover my inner child, so I'm playing with Legos and all these things, just running around and dancing and being goofy. It’s just about not getting too serious and letting your inner-child take over sometimes. Why is it so important to find joy in these little moments? And what brings you joy in your day to day? It’s a joyful and poignant message considering everything the world is going through, especially over the past year. The “Unwritten” viral trend is very much about inspiring people to release their inhibitions.
Not really though, because they actually make music together, but we were also home-schooled. We’re like the original Billie Eilish and Finneas. What? That's so funny! I’ve got to tell him. I just love that a very nice energy came with it, as well as all these great, positive affirmations.ĭid you see a few weeks ago on Twitter that some folks were just putting two and two together that you and Daniel Bedingfield are siblings? I wanted to match the energy of the girl wearing highlighter yellow from. My neighbors probably thought I was crazy, out there in the dark. I was in a very light space and meditating right before I went into that video. You really have to embrace your own sexuality and femininity.īut it was really fun. Just like women with big boobs, it’s hard because if you have a big booty I think that you get straight away. I think that - along with so many other women - I've really been on a journey of self-love and self-acceptance, just finding the strength and the sensuality in my own body and celebrating it. Instead I would wear clothes that would draw attention to my midriff or the “smaller” areas of my body.
In England, with the Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham figure being the ideal when I was growing up, for me my butt was always something that I just didn't draw attention to. What was your reaction to all the love online for your backside? Twitter and TikTok went wild when folks discovered you have, what the kids call, a “dump truck” booty. Even being on Sesame Street, singing the song with Big Bird. I wouldn't have expected it when we wrote the song, but there's so many beautiful memories with that song. Then I got invited to The White House and I was shaking his hand and I was like, “You used my song in your campaign,” and he was like, “Yes, that's why you're here!” That was a really fun, really cool. One of my favorite memories was just finding out that Obama used “Unwritten” in his first campaign. I think we can all remember what that feels like.ĭo you have a favorite “Unwritten” memory? I think the reason it resonated so much is that we really captured that age with the song - it’s so pivotal, it's such an important age in determining who we're going to be, and there's so much pressure. Danielle was one of the writers that we were introduced to and something really clicked when we were writing.Īnyway, I wanted to write a song that was kind of about my younger brother, who was 14 at the time. I was trying to write my first album and it was rapid fire, writing all these amazing songs. My brother had some hits and I had just signed a record deal. I wrote that song with two other people: Wayne Rodriguez - he was like a hip-hop beats guy - and Danielle Brisebois - she was a child star on one of the most famous shows in America when she was a kid, All in the Family. And if I don't picture that, then I won't release it. When I picture any song I’m working on, I picture it shooting out in a big stadium. When you released that song, did you have any inkling of the power it would hold over pop culture in the decades to come?
“Unwritten” is about 17 years old this year. Below, Natasha Bedingfield talks to PopCrush about going wildly viral on TikTok, giving credit where credit's due, her favorite "Unwritten" memories and the new music she's working on.
