Young Hollywood

We've got to change that.

Shane Harper Goes Acoustic

We didn't, I didn't even know I was actually writing for like a record, record. They were just like, you know, go write songs, you know, see if you can write songs that don't suck. You know. Just basically, you know. But then we'll give you a record, record. Yeah, yeah, and then, you know, I didn't, so I didn't even know. So we were just sessioning for fun and, you know, we came across One Step Closer and obviously when we played it for everyone they were like, "Oh, this is the single." Adam Anders worked on it, right? He signed me as he was doing the pilot for Glee and I remember us sitting at a coffee bean with, you know, in a meeting with him and he goes, "Yeah, well, you know, we'll get in the studio." He's like talking about scheduling. He's like, "I'm doing this pilot for Fox." It's called Glee. I remember thinking, "Glee, that sounds weird." Yeah. Yeah, sounds like a really strange. Yeah. And now it's the biggest thing in the world, like I remember that day thinking to myself, I can't believe that's the same Glee that we that the world knows. And now you're in my arms. I knew it from the start. Well, I'd never break your heart, no. If this ain't love, then nothing else is. I'd do anything for just one kiss.
