" was so excited about putting out new music, and just so happy and just so lovely," she adds. "He was just cracking jokes and having the best time, and Mike and him were going back and forth, just making each other laugh. "He came in and was really funny and really warm, and had the biggest smile on his face," Michaels says. Michaels also remembers Chester being "really funny" and "really warm" while they were working together with LINKIN PARK's Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson.
"I was like, 'Yeah, let's do that.' And we wrote the song in about two hours." "He was like, 'I wanna write a song about how sometimes you get really weighed down by all your problems, and sometimes it's really hard to get out of that,'" she explains. The 23-year-old from Santa Clarita, California, who began singing and writing songs at the young age of 12, became friends with Bennington after they worked together and her songwriting partner Justin Trantor.Īccording to Michaels, the concept for "Heavy", which focuses on self-care and "dragging around" personal issues, was the LINKIN PARK singer's idea "When I was growing up, my brother was such a huge fan of theirs, so it was always around in my house." "I've listened to LINKIN PARK for years," Julia tells Billboard. American singer/songwriter Julia Michaels (pictured),who co-wrote LINKIN PARK's "Heavy" single, she finds it difficult to listen to the track now in light of Chester Bennington's suicide last month.
