About Give It To You (from Songland)

You may recognize Julia Michaels from her breakout single "Issues," which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, or the rock-tinged "Uh Huh," another track included on her 2017 debut "mini-album" Nervous System. But chances are, you've been listening to the 26-year-old's catchy, emotive, and often tongue-in-cheek lyricism for longer than you think. Michaels began her music career as a songwriter, penning hits for the likes of Fifth Harmony, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. And her co-writing catalog spans a range of diverse artists and genres, from pop radio material to rugged acoustic sounds and rock. Most recently, Michaels imparted her songwriting wisdom on the Monday (May 11) episode of NBC’s Songland, where she chose contestant Keegan Bost's song "Glad You Came" to record.
