ABC/Kelsey McNeal“Meant to Be,” the collaboration between Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, has been one of the biggest hits of the year. FGL is now dreaming of collaborating with other pop stars — and they’re setting their sights pretty high.
“Bruno Mars…that’d be somebody to spend a couple days with in the studio and try to create something from nothing,” says Florida Georgia Line’s Brian “BK” Kelly. “Y’know, get in the studio and make it really come to life. But I think Rihanna would be cool [too]……I think it’d be cool to hear our voices together.”
According to FGL’s Tyler Hubbard, they’re pretty much down to work with any number of stars outside of the country genre.
“I think every time we go to an awards show, BK and I are always [saying], ‘That’d be cool to do a song with them!’ or ‘That’d be awesome to do a song with them!'” he laughs. “There’s so many talented artists out there, it’s pretty unreal.”
Meanwhile, Tyler says that the message of “Meant to Be” has not only resonated with music fans, but with him and BK as well.
“It’s been over a year since we wrote that song and we’ve been living with it way before the world had it, so I think we were learning the day we wrote it,” Tyler explains. “And learning how to kinda look at the world that way, and look at life that way, and just kinda let go of some control and just let things happen.”
Tyler adds, “I just think that’s something that we’ve continued to be reminded of, with…every bit of success that this song has had…and then it’s cool to kinda see the world be reminded of that as well and really connect with that.”
