Everyone always glosses over how they went from writing songs in their teens to how they actually got to the point where they are in studios and writing sessions. This is no different. Doesn't really talk about the path at all, just kind of patting herself on the back for most of the video.

My biggest take from Tayla is intentionally. When she said "What do you want out of this?", it felt really challenged. I believe that there is a unique perspective i can bring to the table through my storytelling ability, but i also want the talent ("singer") to shine. I've been writing in my home village, right here in South Africa 🇿🇦 & this came at the right time. I've got to keep on keeping on nurturing my talent. Some day I might also end up with a #1 Billboard song. Only God knows ❤

Can she speak to how to get paid as a songwriter? Its a constant thing I hear from 2x grammy winning writers that they dont get paid yeah😊

Maybe don't brag about writing 7 Rings on the thumbnail, when the 8 cowriters had to surrender 90%(!) of the publishing to the Rogers/Hammerstein estates because (as far as I know) they never got permission to use My Favorite Things. And let's be clear, it took 2 people to write "Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings" and 8 people to write "I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it". And no disrespect to Tayla, just that abomination of a song -- in my opinion.
