He took a sample of The Main Ingredient's "Let Me Prove My Love To You" which is mainly the melody of "You Don't Know My Name". Even that little piano-loop which Alicia seems to play is also sampled from The Main Ingredient's original. So a major part which is recognisable is a repeated loop from The Main Ingredient, with Alica's vocals and some background-vocals added to the mix. Imo, that's not co-writing but more like re-arranging an already-excisting melody. | |

Was impressed by the impact near the end of his Flashing Lights-video, but not to keen on the autotune-use though. I think he's a tool so, ur words r nicer than mine.  Okay  | |

They're not well known but even the singer sounds like Alicia. | |
