. (Radio.com) If Sara Bareilles ends up winning the Best Pop Solo Performance GRAMMY for "Brave," she owes Sara Quin an Edible Arrangement or at least a thank you card.

Quin, one half of twin sister duo Tegan and Sara, suggested Bareilles team up with fun.'s Jack Antonoff, assuming the two would hit it off. She was right.

"He's the most incredible human," Bareilles said of Antonoff, her "Brave" co-writer, in an interview with Radio.com. "He's so inspiring, so funny, so dear and sweet and charming and talented."

The first time the two sat down to write together, Antonoff played a few tracks that he had been working on, one of them being the instrumental for "Brave."
