Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys Pen Whitney Houston Song

Producer Swizz Beatz and singer Alicia Keys worked together to write a song called 'Million Dollar Bill' for the new Whitney Houston album 'I Look to You'.

Explaining how the collaboration came about, Beatz says: "I was like, 'We need to bring Whitney back. We need to do some stuff to support Whitney.' Then Alicia was like 'I would love to be a part of that.'"

"I started vibing on different things." Swizz added to MTV News. "I didn't want to come with anything that would make her sound too old or too young."

"That's when I got the vibe to do something that had, like, a disco feel, but still with the hard drums on it - still musical but moving. I wanted to do something that was instant when it came on."

"Then I played the idea for Alicia to make sure I wasn't bugging out. 'Am I going too far with this?' She was like, 'Nah. That can be a big smash.'"

"I want this to be one of the biggest records of her comebacks," Swizz noted. "I want her to be onstage at the Grammys talking about this record."
