She is someone that I walked into the room and I immediately just caught a vibe with and became friends with pretty instantaneously... She 's a musician, she 's a writer, she 's someone that is not afraid to try ideas in the studio, not afraid to get vulnerable in front of people, not scared to go for the high note when she does n't know if she can hit it or not. She is a musician in every sense of the word, and she 's hilarious. '' He also revealed that Ryan Lewis facilitated the collaboration. When asked about how he reached out to Kesha, he said : `` Well, Ryan had a session with her in Seattle. She was already here. They had already done ' Praying ' and they were working on a couple other records that I do n't think made her album. She had ( an ) off day and I hit Ryan and was like, ' Would you mind if I hit up Kesha ? ' And he was like, ' Of course not. ' '' Kesha said of the song on Twitter : `` My new song with Macklemore reminds me of being 16 chasing wild dreams not knowing those moments would be so precious.
