What up y'all? It's yours truly Jason Derulo, and as you can see, you're backstage. This is Backstage Diaries.

Young Hollywood. Oh yeah! Let's go, man. We 'bout to party.

I'm that flight that you get on, international. First class seat on my lap, girl. Riding comfortable. 'Cause I know what a girl them need, New York to Haiti. I got lipstick stamp on my passport. You make it hard to leave. Been around the world, don't speak the language. But your booty don't need explaining. All I really need to understand is when you talk dirty to me. Oh shit. All the other hits. We're 'bout to have a great time. I gotta get some drink. You want some drink? Some drink, yeah. First time I ever heard my song on the radio, I was actually coming from the studio. And uh, it was probably like 5, 6 in the morning. Um, and I was driving home. Um, and when "Wiggle" came on the radio. I was like, what? Like, is this actually happening right now? Um, I was amped. I called, I called my mom. Um, and I was like, "Ma, listen." She was like, "Yeah, I know, I know." I was like, "Nah, it's on the radio, though." Uh, so I I was amped, man. I I was excited. I can't pick two of my favorite shoes that I own because I I got too many pairs of shoes for one. And I got a lot of nice shoes. I'm a sneakerhead. You know what I'm saying? You can take a look at these. These joints are kinda crazy. You know, I'm always doing, uh, some different, you know, styles with the shoes. Um, I just took off my shoe, y'all. Only for Young Hollywood, you feel me?

Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up and make some noise for the one and only, Jason Derulo. What up, y'all? What's happening? This "Talk Dirty" album that's about to drop, it already has three platinum singles on it. And, thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

I was one of those kids that would stand in front of the television, you know what I'm saying, with my socks on, you know, trying to, uh, do every dance move that I saw on TV and, um, it just started off with trying to mimic, um, you know, people like, like Usher I watched growing up. Justin Timberlake. Michael Jackson, you know, was was the premier, uh, influence for me. But, yeah, it was just me being one of those kids that that started off like that. It's actually very hard to to find the right background singers, the right, uh, dancers. Dancers especially, because, I mean, you want the the people to be really talented. For me, personally, like I I wanted to find the most talented in the world. You know what I'm saying? I wanted to find the best in the world. So like, it took years and years and years, and I finally feel like I've reached a point where I have some of the best dancers in the world. And, uh, you wanna combine that with camaraderie as well. Me, I'm not one of those artists that consider myself differently or apart from my dancers. If I had to compare my music to a bag of potato chips, you know what I'm saying, it would be a kind of a mixture, you feel me? So it would be like Doritos, you know what I'm saying? But not the regular kind, like the very spicy kind. 'Cause my shit is hot. You know what I'm saying? And then, I I would put a little bit of Lays flavor in there, you know what I'm saying, 'cause sometimes when you hear my music, you wanna be laid up with your boo, you feel me? You like that wordplay? You like what I did there? I know. Today. Take me to the other side. Just like the fourth of July. Just take me to the other side. You already know who it is, it's yours truly Jason Derulo, and you're watching Backstage Diaries.
