-Melinda told me
the most touching story,
and it was this really
unexpected, beautiful moment
-I love the song
you chose.
But why did you choose it?
I'm curious.
-I chose "Always Be My Baby" -
Mariah Carey.
-So good.
-I picked the song
because of my brother.
We love to jam out
in the car,
and just listen to
old-school jams.
And he is your biggest fan
-Really?
-He has every single one
of your album names
tattooed on his body.
-Oh, my God.
-You did find
your biggest fan.
-She isn't lying.
It's not fake.
-And yesterday...
he was, um...
-Oh, no.
-Oh, my God.
He was waiting for his --
a heart transplant.
And he just
got called yesterday.
So, he's there right now.
-Oh, my God.
-Like, now?
-Like, right now.
-Why are you here?
-It's group-hug time.
-That's exactly why, because -
-Oh, my God.
Let's get done,
so you can leave.
-He said "You can't leave,
because what if it's
Taylor Swift?"
-Shut up.
-Okay.
-I'm not even joking
right now.
-This song definitely goes out
to my brother,
because to see Taylor
there today,
when he's undergoing
heart surgery,
I just thought,
"How is this happening?"
Chris has to wake up --
because there's no way
I can't tell him
about this.
That'd be the world's
biggest injustice.
He was like,
"Don't be selfish.
You're doing it for me,
not for you."
-Aww.
-Can you tell us
an address for where
we can send him
some gifts?
-Absolutely. And we all have
matching "Fearless" tattoos.
I have mine here.
-You have a "Fearless" tattoo,
right now, on your body?
-Yes. Right here. "Fearless.
My whole family.
-I feel super vain,
'cause right there
is where I have
my own song.

-We'll talk about that later

-Melinda told me
the most touching story,
and it was this really
unexpected, beautiful moment
-♪♪ We were as one, babe ♪♪
♪♪ For a moment in time ♪♪
-It's very hard to find
consistent, dependable signers
Usually, our voice is affected
by our mood.
Melinda's, like, never affected.
I mean, it's crazy.
-I just love the chorus
of this song so much.
♪♪ You'll always be
a part of me ♪♪
Like, I love that hook,
and I just kind of want to
find those moments
where you can reflect
that melody.
-I have a really good idea
that you just made me think of
Wouldn't it be cool
to start on the chorus?
-Yep. Like, the drums
hitting different parts of it,
that are like, "You'll alway
be..." -- da da da.
-♪♪...a part of me♪♪
[ Vocalizes drumbeat ]
-Identical.
Party for two.
-Artists need to put
their own spin on things,
but at the same time,
my entire contribution to music
has just been
the hooks I write.
So, my instinct is to be like,
"Save it.
Can we save the melody,
please?"
Sort of a mischief,
and a flirtation,
and a confidence,
for sure.
-Just make sure you're opening
up, and you're, like, jamming.
-Okay, okay.
-'Cause it's that kind of song
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah.
-♪♪ You'll always be
a part of me ♪♪
-Melinda has an amazing voice,
and it's just night and day.
When she started the song
that second way,
it was, like, so powerful.
-♪♪ 'Cause you'll always be
my baby ♪♪
-Melinda is
an incredible vocalist.
Super powerful voice.
So, I couldn't be more honored
to go against her,
but more terrified.
-Killer job, both of you.
Jake and Melinda have different
challenges before them.
I'm just gonna have to
judge on who I think
is gonna be right
for the lives --
'cause at this point,
everyone's talented, y'all
