It’s been already a few days since we found out that Simple Plan were one of the co-writers of the new All Time Low’s song “Time Bomb”. And what comes now seems like everything we’ve almost predicted:
In the latest interview that Alex and Jack from All Time Low did for Buzznet (thanks to Elisa for letting us know), Alex revealed not only a little bit about the process of writing Time Bomb and that it was in fact originally a fully-Simple Plan song, but also that Alex got to do something for the Simple Plan record too!
This is possibly one of the secret collaborations we’ve heard so much about! Make sure to check the interview with All Time Low below (the SP part comes at about 2:00 mark)
P.S.: I know it’s Jack on the picture with Pierre. There is just no other decent All Time Low/Simple Plan picture around.
Alex: Actually the song Time Bomb has a pretty cool story. It was a song that Simple Plan – well Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan were originally coming up with Matt Squire, at the same time that I was writing with Matt Squire – like the same week. You know I would be there from 1 to 3 and they would be there 4 to 6. And basically what happened is that that I guess they hit some kind of a wall. And Squire was like “Check this song out! Maybe you’ll like it. Maybe you’d relate to it.” And so I listened to it and kind of changed it around. And then we wrote some stuff and it actually ended up working better for us than it did for them, so they were like “You know what? This is an All Time Low song. And that’s the problem, it’s not a Simple Plan song.” So we ended up using the song for ourselves. And I’m stoked ’cause it was a really cool opportunity to write with Chuck and Pierre.
Jack: “They are like the nicest dudes in the world. And they speak French.”
Alex: “Which is hot!”
Jack: “Which is the language of love and sex.”
Alex: “And I actually got to… I don’t know if they’ve announced it yet, but I got to do a little something on their record too, so that’s cool.”
