    Not only did he produce the song himself, he actually produced it with Fl Studio trial. The free version. This meant that he had to finish the whole song in one sitting as the trial version doesn't let you open saved files until you buy the full version. Crazy

      This commend thread is hilarious. Like these people never used a computer. Or atleast not 15ish years ago. Minimizing and multi tasking was easily a thing. I'm 30 but starting to see a difference in age gap. He did not have to make the song in 1 sitting. Just as they said you just leave the computer on and program open. Now if the program crashed.... oof
