Sara Bareilles tried working with Pharrell to explore a new sound for her new album Kaleidoscope Heart, but says the collaboration wasn't very fruitful. She told the AP, "I'm not a very good collaborator and I didn't really know how to do it . . . I felt really uncomfortable with just the process and so I think that's why we didn't really get anything out of it."

She continued, "I would love to probably re-approach it instead of using what we ended up with. I'd love to do it again now that it's not such a new experience . . . I don't know why I get so, I don't know, nervous? I think I was star-struck, honestly."

Songwriting with others isn't something that comes naturally to the singer. She explained, "I'm not a great co-writer. I have a lot of respect for people that can do it well, I'm just terrible at it."

Sara also told the AP that when she walked into the scheduled recording session, Pharrell was in the middle of getting haircut.
