  Brad Paisley talks about the musical “loop” in his chart-topping smash, “Beat This Summer.” (:28)
“That was a loop created by Luke Laird that I wrote that with, and he hit ‘play’ on his computer, and it was (vocalizing the instrumentation) — just like that. In fact, we used a lot of his loop. And we just dumped that in the computer and started recordin’ the band from it and said, ‘Here it is: this is it.’ And before he did that, I just thought to myself, ‘Well, I’ve got this summer title. That feels like summer,’ and that’s the first thing I thought of was that sounds like a summer song.”
