Jon, when did you get into songwriting? And specifically, what got you into writing pop songs? Are there any dream collaborations you have?

How was to find out that 'Mood Ring' turned out to be a Japan bonus track? How was Britney in the recording process?

[TheySayImCrazy18]

2.) Have You Been Asked To Work For Britney Again Since “Mood Ring”? 
 

3.) When You Were With Britney In The Studio Did It Seem Like She Was Being Controlled i.e The Conservatorship? 
 

Thank You For Doing This John!

What are your 3 favorite Britney albums? You can not say one album three times. 

[PokemonSpears]

Hi Jon. We know you and Melanie are super fans of Britney, and she commented you two had like 10 more songs like Mood Ring. Do you still have hopes of sending them to Britney to record them? Have you two created more songs with Britney in mind in these past years?

Also, what's your favorite Britney music video? 

And what's your favorite Glory song besides Mood Ring?

 

[canyouhandlemytruth]

Did you work on anything for B10 

Or is there a specific sound you envision for new tracks that could wind up on it? Thanks! 

[TheGrandeLife]

Hi @JonAsher that's a real pleasure to thank you in person for the incredible Mood Ring, it should have been a single :-), so good ! 

Do we have here a remixed version of Mood Ring or this final version is exactly like it was made ?

We need more gem songs like that one^^ 

[Blackout2006]

Hey @JonAsher! Just before anything, wanted to let you know that “Mood ring” is a really great song and your production in it was EVERRYTTHINNG!

So here’s me take:

1. When you found out that mood ring was only featured in the Japanese edition of Glory, did you feel bad or left out?
2. Do you wish that you helped produce more tracks on glory?

3. So, I’ll admit it...exhale has always talked about the potential of the glory era, and how it could’ve been huger. For one of its major factors, where single choices. According to you...what should have been the singles of the album that could’ve made the era much huger?
4. Besides mood ring, have you worked on any other project with Britney?
5. On a scale of 1-10, rate...

• Oops I did it again (album)
• In the zone 
• Circus (album)
• Glory

6. How was recording with Britney? Did it take some time to record mood ring or did u both just finish it in a snap of a finger?
7. Can you describe Britney’s creative process and energy/passion into making a song, since, you have worked with her.

Thats it! thank you

[PollyPocket]

What parts did you vocally produce on MR and how did you do it (like what DAW, fx, mic, etc...)

I'm a music producer :D and am intrigued on your role <3 

P.S. Mood Ring is my ****!! I hope she makes a music video for it! 

[DignifiedLove]

@JonAsherwhy does Mood Ring sound so choppy and like a LQ unfinished demo?  

[Fenixxx123]

Hi Jon  how long did it take to Britney to record Mood Ring? It is said that she is super fast and professional when working.

Cheers from Chile

hello,

- Do you consider yourself as a Britney fan after working for her or have you always been a fan?

- I read that you were into k-pop. Is there a k-pop group you'd like to work with? 

- Why is mood ring so perfect?
