How Corbyn Besson got Tzuyu from TWICE on his hit song "Blink" Dec 29, 2025

Show notes

WATCH THE OFFICIAL "BLINK" MUSIC VIDEO FEATURING CORBYN BESSON AND TZUYU FROM TWICE ⁠HERE ⁠📺 🍿

Hi coconuts! Today’s episode of “Middle Row w Coco Mocoe” features an artist that I believe should be on your radar.

We can learn a lot from his story; such as the power of patience when creating.

Not everything needs to be fast. There is power in waiting for the right moment to strike.

Corbyn Besson was formerly known for being a child star in the boyband “Why Don’t We” with hit songs like “8 letters”. Now, he is breaking solo. Ahead of his first EP, “Head First”, he released a song called “Blink” featuring Tzuyu from the K-Pop girl group TWICE.

He sat on this song for 8 months, waiting for the right moment and collaborator. And thank goodness he did because now the song has 13,000,000+ views on YouTube and 15,000,000+ listens on Spotify.

We talk more about his solo career after the dissolution of "Why Don't We" following a lengthy legal battle, how he met Tzuyu at Lollapalooza ahead of their collaboration together + what to expect from his upcoming EP, "Head First".
