Ghost by Justin Bieber has been taking the world by storm, recently reaching #1 on the pop radio charts, which is why I wanted to dedicate this week’s video exactly to that, showing you how to produce a pop hit like Justin Bieber - Ghost. I'll be making a deep dive into the song’s composition, sound design, mixing, and other elements and details that make a chart-topping pop anthem like Ghost, which was by the way written and produced by one of my favorite artists, producers, and songwriters: Jon Bellion.
