Dove Cameron is dishing on her songwriting process!

The 24-year-old “We Belong” singer and actress spoke out about what she does when she gets a song idea.

“If an idea strikes for a song, I use the Voice Memos app within my phone. That doesn’t happen very often, where a melody will come to me and I’m like, ‘Whoa, that’s a melody I need to record,’” Dove told Story + Rain.

“Usually, it’s words that come to me, and when it’s words, I have this weird thing where I don’t trust the Notes app,” she continued. “There’s no reason for it, nothing’s ever happened, I just don’t trust it. I feel like it could just go. I’m a crazy person when it comes to notebooks and I always carry a journal with me. It has to be a beautiful journal, something unusual that I’ve never seen before. I always carry a couple of very heavy-in-the-hand pens.”

“I have another notebook for just for lists of things. It’s full of to-do-lists, grocery lists, and things that I need to do before ‘X’ amount of time. I have another notebook that’s only an external schedule. I keep everything in those three,” Dove said.
