O'Donoghue told : `` I played Will a few demos backstage early on in The Voice. We got to Hall Of Fame and he immediately asked if he could have it for his new album, as it was exactly what he was looking for. I was n't having it, it was our lead single but I asked if he 'd be on it. He agreed and we booked in time to record it. The problem is, he 's either late or completely flakes, so it took four attempts to get to record his part. Eventually we put it together in his hotel room in 15 minutes. It 's a classic duet, I do one line and he responds. '' He added : `` we went to the recording studio and an hour and a half later we had the song in its entirety. I thought he was going to produce it but he just gave it to me and Mark ( Sheehan ) and said ' you guys go and produce it '. '' Of the collaboration O'Donoghue said : `` We were trying to play it super cool - us with will.i.am ! We heard him singing some of our lines, but we still did n't know what he was going to do. We were worried he might take some of our original song out. But he just sang our words. '' Lyrics and interpretation The lyrics of `` Hall of Fame '' has a story in it which focuses on never giving up on your dreams. This lyrics was written by the lead singer Danny as reported in The Guardian `` O'Donoghue's real metier is lyrics : he 's a striking and emotional storyteller ''. Billboard describes the song as `` a swelling, piano - driven number with an uplifting, earworm of a chorus that soars, ' Standing in the hall of fame / And the world 's gon na know your name / Cause you burn with the brightest flame. ' '' The lead singer, Danny explains that this song was about the band as he tells `` the title is mostly about us. As any geek fan of the band could tell you, we 're all extremely different people, but magic happens when you mix us together. Well, magic or a car crash, which is how we describe the songs we scrap. '' He also said : `` We wanted to inspire people to stop trying to be famous for the sake of it.
