Jelly Roll tells Entertainment Focus Magazine that inspiration for a song can come from anywhere. If the magic isn’t there, you could have three of the best songwriters in the world together and if the magic isn’t there it just won’t happen. But when it does, it could be 4 in the morning or my wife and I could be in the middle of a serious talk and she’ll get mad at me because I’ll go “Man, that would make a good song or song title!’ And I’ll reach for my phone to make a note of it!”
