How a song
becomes a star.

01 / 05

Phone screen listing Miji’s voice memos, captioned “Somebody should help me put beat under”

01

It starts as a voice memo

One of 770-plus phone recordings. “Somebody should help me put beat under.”

Hand holding two sticky notes, one reading “Shoot 10 music videos”

02

Then the honest line

Scraps of notes until one line says it out loud. Then the goal: “Shoot 10 music videos.”

Recording studio lit red and purple during a late session

03

Into the booth

Late sessions under red and purple light, until one take sounds the way the memo felt.

Dressed for the song

Deep green backdrop, black velvet, one chair. The shoot gives Bed of Roses its look.
