Savan Kotecha on Co-Writing Justin Bieber’s ‘Beauty and a Beat’ & What Its Post-Coachella Comeback Means: ‘My Kids Think It’s a New Song’

"I remember sending it to Max Martin, going, 'look at this!'" the hit songwriter-producer recalls of the 2012 pop hit currently topping Billboard's global charts.

“I didn’t even meet him during ‘Beauty and a Beat,” recalls hit songwriter-producer Savan Kotecha, who co-wrote the Justin Bieber pop hit alongside Max Martin, Zedd and Nicki Minaj. “I was in Sweden when [Justin] was in L.A. recording it. But he’s super sweet — obviously a gifted, generational talent.”

Over the course of his over 20-year-long career, Justin Bieber is far from the only superstar Kotecha has written for. His credits include songs for Britney Spears, One Direction, Lizzo and Katy Perry. And after some time away to focus on his family (“I was so deep in it and I felt like I was missing my kids’ childhood… If I was in the middle of writing a song, I would be tweaking until two in the morning,” he says), he returned to churning out hits. He co-wrote 2025 hits for Ed Sheeran (“Azizam”) and Tate McRae (“It’s OK I’m OK”) among others.
