James clarified that he doesn\u2019t consider himself to be a producer on the song, and doesn\u2019t want to take credit for the song, co-written with Ye alongside Dom Maker, TK the Legend, Rashon Murphy, Okami, Don Toliver, and Quentin Miller.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s one of three James Blake-produced songs Ye previewed at a Burberry after party in a private club in London back in September 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way I pitched his vocals and constructed the track from his freestyle is partially there, majorly peppered with other newer vocal takes etc. but the spirit of my actual production is mostly absent other than that,\u201d James wrote on Vault, via Complex.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMy original version is a completely different production in spirit. Happy for the fans but I\u2019ve asked to be taken off the producer credits for now as I don\u2019t want to take credit for other people\u2019s work and this version isn\u2019t what I created with Ye,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not personal! I just hit a point where don\u2019t want to be credited on music where I can\u2019t affect the end result.\u201d<\/p>\n Listen to \u201cThis One Here\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n Read the lyrics to \u201cThis One Here\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n
