“Our songs are silly … like, Chrissy makes up songs, I make up songs,” the 13-time Grammy winner said. “And my dad used to do that to us all the time. He would sing a bedtime song … just to motivate us. But this time I really wanted to formalize it and make real songs that I could record for my kids and for everybody else’s kids."

“We recorded a video of me trying to wrangle them and show them how to navigate the studio,” he said. “The main thing was keeping everybody on time with the tempo and everything. And they’re not used to singing and using headphones and things of that nature … you have to kind of show them how to navigate.”
