Parker McCollum's "How I Wrote That Song Presented by BMI, Beasley & HD Radio

We've teamed up with Beasley and HD Radio to present "How I Wrote That Song" with Parker McCollum. Watch as host Brian Ives chats with Parker about his songs Pretty Heart, I Can't Breathe, Hell Of A Year, To Be Loved By You and Drinkin'.

“I like to write on my own” is a point that Parker McCollum makes frequently. But being successful in the music industry usually requires compromise and the ability to collaborate. And McCollum, who has written great songs on his own, has learned to work with other writers to great effect. In this interview, he discussed how his biggest hit, “Pretty Heart,” came from a collaboration with Randy Rogers, another upcoming co-write with Miranda Lambert and his two big influences: George Strait and John Mayer. Read an excerpt of our interview below; listen to the podcast to hear the entire conversation.

The How I Wrote That Song limited series gives music fans a front-row seat for conversations with songwriters behind some of the biggest hits of yesterday and today. You’ll learn the stories behind the songs from the people who wrote them.

New episodes will be released every Monday through October 4.
