Michaels admits she has a hard time listening to the song she collaborated with the band.

Julia Michaels of Issues fame has revealed that she co-wrote the song Heavy, the recent Linkin Park single.

In a new interview, Michaels, who co-wrote many songs for the likes of Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Gwen Stefani, spoke about how she collaborated with Linkin Park whose frontman Chester Bennington recently passed away.

They were so excited about putting our new music and just so happy and just so lovely so it’s really strange that these circumstances have happened,” she told Billboard. “I have a really hard time listening to the song now because of it.”
