"Been That Way" is a song that Timbaland gave me. Actually, the beat is. And then he called me to come out there to Miami. I went out there to work with him and he gave me two beats for my project. One was "Sorry Not Sorry" and the other one was "Been That Way" and I recorded both of them in my hotel. I was going to record it at the Hit Factory, but I told Tim I don’t really like recording in big studios, so he bought me a whole bunch of equipment to record in my hotel.[4]
