McLaughlin describes the difficulty of the gig: Every season, Scott and McLaughlin will be approached by the producers of the show to put together a musical number -- one that could be a single song with queens performing their own verses, or an entire, seven minute musical."In seven minutes, we will go from doing an R&B song, to a pop song, to an operatic song, to a Julie Andrews [number] to country and every other genre," he says.
For a song like"Lucky," the season 13 finale number performed by top four queens Gottmik, Kandy Muse, Rosé and Symoné, McLaughlin says the writing process began with RuPaul offering the inspiration of a '50s-era twist-and-slide song, which the pair took and ran with. As they mapped out the different lyrics for Ru and the orchestrations for the queens' verses, McLaughlin says that he immediately knew what his two jobs were in putting this song together.
For McLaughlin, writing with stars like Selena Gomez, Ava Max, Troye Sivan and more have been career-defining opportunities -- but working alongside RuPaul and the team at World of Wonder is what he says gives him the most joy in his career."For us to get to spend time with these legends, it's so incredible," he says.
