This probably isn’t that unusual in the music industry, at least not when recording featured artists on a track. What makes it a bit stranger is that B.o.B. and the lead singer of Paramore also filmed their portions of the music video separately! Here’s what Williams has to say about this. “We’ve never met in person. We’ve talked on Twitter, and he’s really cool. We’ll never meet. We’re going to perform the song live via Skype.”
