I know he's not a pop artist, but James Taylor is someone I've always looked up to because he has such a strong core fanbase that will follow him everywhere. But I actually experienced a pretty comical thing after "Call Me Maybe." When I had written that song I had a boyfriend, and throughout the whole process of promoting it and touring with it, I was a taken lady.
The verse came to me in the middle of the night actually, and it's about that longing for intimacy.
Justin Bieber tweeted "Call Me Maybe" out when the single was released in 2012, you've toured together, and then he recently made a cameo in the video for "I Really Like You." What's your relationship with Justin like? Can he call me maybe?
(Laughs) I'm sorry to inform you that I think he's actually straight, but you can see what you can do, at least.
(Laughs) But I do think there are songs that speak to my more personal side.
Speaking of dreams come true: How much did getting to sing "Part of Your World" for "The Little Mermaid" Diamond Edition DVD change your life?!
I got a few phone calls – weird phone calls, again! Here's my number." We're gonna have to exchange emails or something.
Text me maybe?
– and that was one of those: "We're getting different musicians to play the part of the princess of the decade – right now it's gonna be Ariel – and we were wondering if you would sing 'Part of Your World' and there should be a video and you'll play Ariel." I was like, "Ummmm. So literally a half hour after meeting Justin I was in the studio recording his song.
I think there are lighter songs, where there's not much of me to read into. I feel like it's an intimidating endeavor, but I wanted to at least aim at trying to make songs that weren't just for the moment but that could be lasting. The influence of the song's video on the mainstream cannot be denied.
You immediately established yourself as an ally when you ended your "Call Me Maybe" video with a gay twist.
Again, it was one of those moments; I've had a few of them in my life where you're just wondering if you're dreaming or not.
I can't describe Justin any other way than by saying he has been a life-changer for me. To have (Cyndi) kind of beside me, watching me, was like, "Oh god."
I think that there's just a timelessness to her songs.
He also invited me to be a part of his world tour, which was just such an experience for me and the band boys. I moved to LA for the first time and I was meeting all these people, so it was just a nice thing to hear that it was making a positive impact, but there was no intentional motive.
How does it feel knowing you'll have to sing that song for the rest of your life?
When I was very little, actually, my grandmother would say, "Be careful what songs you put out there because you might have to sing them for the rest of your life." I bring that up to her now and again and I'm like, "Did you know?
His androgynous appearance and clothing choices, as well as his close relationships with other men, have been blamed.
His upbringing in a religious and conservative family has been blamed for his alleged homophobia and repression by others.
Who Has Justin Bieber Dated?
As a result of dating several well-known people, Justin Bieber has an extensive dating history.
"Warm Blood" is that for me; it's a very intimate song. You knew!"
And yeah, it is one of those songs where I'll be 89 and I'll still be singing it. (Laughs) It wasn't meant to have a huge impact – it actually shocked me that it did. What would you like your happily ever after to be?
I have always admired people who've been able to make music for life and who have an audience that just follows the ebbs and flows of their career, and also hopefully helps other people with the music they're making.
But I've always felt, when we go to wherever it might be – a festival or something along those lines – it's just a different kind of energy.
