About Sway (From Songland)

PipoBeats is a Chilean artist currently living in California. He wrote the song “Sway” because he wanted a powerful Spanish song that packs a punch. His goal in life is to work with Luis so he is very excited to perform in front of him on Songland. Luis likes the Chilean influences but Ryan Tedder feels like the guitar and the chorus are conflicting.
