'It was Pusha T who came up with the McDonald's 'I'm lovin' it' jingle, not Pharrell and Justin Timberlake'
“I’m lovin’ it” is probably the most recognised McDonald’s jingle of our time.
And who came up with the catchy tune that evolved into just the phrase in the early 2000s? Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake right?
Well no, apparently Pusha T wrote it, former record industry executive Steve Stoute claimed in a recent interview with Hot 97′s Ebro Darden.
As the video shows, Stoute, who now works for Translation – the marketing firm which handles Maccy D’s advertising briefs and who brokered the deal, was asked about Pharrell and JT’s involvement.
He replied: “No, you know who did that? Pusha T. That’s crazy that Pusha T wrote the song to McDonald’s ‘I’m Lovin It’.”
Watch him make the claim around the four-minute mark. Who’d have known?!
