Montreality captured footage of Pharrell’s overseas press conference. The Neptunes and N.E.R.D member said the following about producer “Alright”:

One of my assistants really likes Trap music. I wanted to do something in that vein, but just a little bit more colorful, and add roads and instruments that are not usually used in that style of music. Just try to bring something a little bit more mystical. I kind of had my Tribe Called Quest hat on that day. I’m a huge Q-Tip fan.
