Ruth B + Cole MGN | What Happens After Your First Song Becomes a Massive Hit

Ruth B’s career exploded with her very first song. Then came the harder question: how do you do it again?

Ruth and producer Cole MGN join Justin Tranter to unpack the pressure that followed “Lost Boy,” why “Dandelions” unexpectedly going viral five years later changed Ruth’s relationship with success, and how the two built her most personal album yet.

They break down abandoning the songwriting-session treadmill, reinventing Ruth’s creative process, taking nearly two years to finish “Breathe,” and finally completing “Storm,” the Vine-era song fans had been asking for for a decade.
