He sang the lead for that demo “Don’t worry ’bout me/I got a wildcard up and fully expected to get Lambert’s voice on my sleeve,” that Lambert highly values. it, but nothing more was required. Taking a cue from that, she got a queen “That might’ve been one of the last songs of hearts tattoo inked on her right arm in that we wrote together [for the album], or she October 2018, guaranteeing that she had a just liked the vocal on it, because she never love-related wildcard literally up her sleeve. sang a demo,” says Dick.
