It's going to take some work and I don't know how or exactly where this song needs to go. Brad was kind of like, "What do you want to do? We've got all of these songs that are basically already on the record" and I was like, "You know, it's not ready. We had the chords and the lyrics to the chorus, and like the melody of the vocal, but the rest of the song was kind of not there. It just wasn't coming together, it was me and her and Brad Delson. We started that song around the time the time we were wrapping up One More Light, the Linkin Park album. While on tour for Post Traumatic, Mike explained about K.Flay, "So the way that worked out was, I actually met her a few years ago. It was really where my head was at at that point in the record." I listened to it while I was making Post Traumatic and realized the theme of that song was central to the album. All it was was a chorus and the rest of this demo track was terrible. "Make It Up As We Go" was a song we started at the very end of the One More Light sessions with me, K. I did a few things at a couple other studios and I plucked a few things that were unfinished demos or sketches from other sessions I had worked on. Mike told Ultimate Guitar, " The stuff from Post Traumatic, I did 90 percent of it myself and I did most of that at my house. The chorus remained the same as it originally was. The song was originally a ballad but Mike tweaked the tempo. When he was going through old tracks during the writing of Post Traumatic, however, Mike felt that the theme of the song fit what he was going for on the record, so he rewrote it and included it on the album. "Make It Up As I Go" started during the One More Light writing sessions, but the track was ultimately scrapped since Mike and Brad felt the song simply wasn't turning out well.
