There She Goes
I'm SO excited for you to hear this episode 🥹💖 I think I told Jennifer “I’m so excited” in every email I sent her because I truly could not wait to spotlight her songwriting story✨ In this episode of There She Goes, I sit down with #1 platinum songwriter Jennifer Adan, co-writer of Blake Shelton’s hit song “She Wouldn’t Be Gone [https://youtu.be/ki-n6DsDG40?si=4OEQuvpWbudOQmA8],” with song placements on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Keeping Up with the Kardashians, President of the West Coast Songwriters organization, and founder of her own publishing company. In this episode, we talk about: •Jennifer’s journey to becoming a professional songwriter •Writing Blake Shelton’s #1 platinum hit "She Wouldn’t Be Gone" •Being a woman in the music industry •Bullying and criticism early on •The importance of community and encouragement for creatives •The songwriting process: from inspo, to writing, to pitching •Hearing that "Metamorphosis" placed on Grey’s Anatomy •The realities of streaming, publishing, and songwriter compensation •“You are always one yes away from your life changing.” So much of There She Goes was born from lyrics that put feelings into words before I even knew how to explain them myself. That’s why getting to spotlight songwriters like Jennifer feels so special to me ✨ Songwriters are truly some of the “unsung heroes” of the music industry, and I’m so excited to continue highlighting the behind-the-scenes creatives whose words, stories, and art shape so many of our lives 💌 🎧 Songs Mentioned (all co-written by Jennifer, except "The Man") •“She Wouldn’t Be Gone [https://youtu.be/ki-n6DsDG40?si=4OEQuvpWbudOQmA8]” – Blake Shelton •“Metamorphosis [https://youtu.be/UKwCBkiz7oI?si=3AKtktW_wEd9JijF]” – MILCK •“Call My Dad [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUb5ZPcdom0&list=RDBUb5ZPcdom0&start_radio=1]” – Scott Hoying •“The Man [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqAJLh9wuZ0&list=RDAqAJLh9wuZ0&start_radio=1]” – Taylor Swift 🎶 Listen to all the songs mentioned in the podcast on the official There She Goes playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6wdwN6krQ6SNdhaEaw6ZY3?si=Kz8SmFE8TzamUapYARzenQ&pi=-xwPV-QqTNegm]*: a curated evolving playlist for your walks, journaling sessions, brave decisions, and main character moments 💖 *In this episode, Jennifer shares insight about songwriter compensation and the importance of supporting songwriters beyond streaming alone.
