Rodrigo penned the sweet, uplifting song – featured in the final scene of the new season’s sixth episode , as the couple had tense exchanges during the episode.
Things are starting to slow down a bit for me and I’m going to have a real break, which I’m really excited about.
Q: In this episode, Nini is asked to write a song for her character in East High’s performance of “Beauty and Beast” .
Rodrigo: Lots of times I have that experience with songwriting just like Nini, where you’re trying to make something, trying to write about something that you’re not actually feeling.
I think working within a prompt and having constraints to your creativity is so fun, and a great challenge for me as a songwriter.
Even if you’re not going through a heartbreak it can take you back to a time when you were experiencing feelings like that.
I’m just really living my life and trying to write songs that really resonate with me and other people, and that’s all I can do.
Rodrigo: I literally don’t know what I’m eating for breakfast tomorrow, my life is so up in the air.
