"You're The Type of Guy" was written about two years ago while I was living in LA recording my (FIRST?) album. I had been in the studio all night, every night so I really didn't have much time for a social life. My schedule was basically to work all night and sleep all day; I started feeling pretty lonely. One night I was taking a break from recording and randomly signed onto iChat. I hadn't iChatted in forever so it was weird when an old friend from back home in NYC messaging me from out of the blue to talk. We started to video-chat and I realized I actually had a mini-crush on this guy. I definitely used to like him, secretly, while I was living on the East Coast�but basically I ignored it because he was known as a "bad boy".

Everyone in the studio saw me video chatting with this boy and the teasing began. No one had really seen me actually like a guy before. My manager even asked me, "Is that the kind of boy you like to hang with?"� joking around. It was that exact night when I heard a new beat that I really loved and thought it would be cool to write a song about liking this boy to that music. I remember what my manager said and that's how the hook developed. I changed up the music a bit to put my own touch on it. But I thought to myself, this is definitely the kind of guy I like to hang out with. When I was writing the song, I had to include something about like stereotypical "bad boy"; I thought the concept was something most girls could relate to. Unfortunately, we all learn that the bad boys can be so intriguing.

So it happened� "You're The Type of Guy (That I Like to Hang With)" was created.
