Khalid

Radio Intros 2024
LIFE With John Mayer on Sirius XM Radio

You know, one of the benefits of my spending so much time in the studio are the hallway run-ins. Now, I don't purposely try to run into artists to end up playing on their albums, but it has happened. And in the case of Khalid, I am so glad that it did.

I ran into him in the hallway, he said "I want to play you something," I sat and listened to it, and my next words were, "get me a guitar." I didn't command someone to get me a guitar, it was just sort of a manner of speaking. I went and got my own guitar, thank you very much. And I ended up playing guitar on this fantastic song called "Outta My Head." It's featuring me, but it's all about Khalid.

Listen, I love when someone pitches a song that I couldn't have written myself, and that I get to play guitar on, and it brings out a different part of my guitar playing because I'm not limited by the song I would have written for me. So, this is Khalid, "Outta My Head." You'll hear me playing, I think through the whole thing, doing my single-note rhythm thing.
