Tracy here with Young Hollywood. I am standing inside the diner at Cadillac Jack's on the set of Ali Simpson's new music video. And all I can see is that there's so much food around here, but it's not real.

Alli Simpson

It just fits the whole vibe and when I saw this place, I was, it's perfect, and we have really cool, really cool old vintage cars and everything's working out perfectly. It's like we're in Grease. We're on the set of Grease right now, pretty much. Yeah. I think back in the day we'd come to this diner. I definitely would. Oh, I I would be here all the time. I'd be just give me this milkshake and I that's all I need. I'm here. This looks real, but it's not real, and it's making me really upset cuz I'm so hungry.

Young Hollywood

Oh yeah.

Alli Simpson

Yeah, it's it was. I was shooting with it today and I was like, this is not fair. It's just not.

Young Hollywood

Are you gonna at least get a milkshake at some point today at the end of the day?

Alli Simpson

I mean, yeah, I think I deserve one. And the song, it's called "Rollin' Up." Cody wrote it with Selena. Cody wrote it with Selena, um, which is very cool. They were going to release it as their single and Cody decided to go a different way with his music and Selena was taking a break, so they just decided to just like let it be. And I was still listening to the song every day, like when they recorded it, like I loved it. It was my favorite song, like I listened to it when I exercise. So they actually recorded it. Yeah, the song was ready. It was ready to go, and I was running on the treadmill to it. I was like, I love this song. And then one day it came to me, like, it's like a year later after they recorded it, I was like, you ever gonna do anything with that song? And Cody's like, no, we probably won't, like, you can have it. I was like, what? So it's a fresh take on the on the original song. It still sounds sort of old, but it's it's got like a really cool beat now, so I think it's like we're mixing like then with now. So, and then Jack and Jack, because they're hilarious. Oh, you're just so funny. They're literally two of the best guys I've met in LA. Be able to work with them and also like be friends with them is great too. So,

Young Hollywood

Is this actually the first time that, I mean, this is you and all your friends on the set, like, is this the first time you're actually collaborating together?

Alli Simpson

Yeah, this is the first time we've done a music collab. Obviously, we've collabed with the Mud campaign, but other than that, this is the first time working together with music. And we've spoken about it in the past. Like I was over at the Jack's place on the weekend and just hanging out with them and then thinking like, if we actually did something together, like it'd be really cool, and it's it's natural to all of us.

Young Hollywood

And speaking of dressing, you guys are like ambassadors for Mud.

Alli Simpson

Yeah, we all do Mud together. That's fun. Mud has a very like free bohemian type vibe. I love that stuff anyway, and so to be able to work with Mud and like they have all that that cool stuff is great. And to be able to do it with Jack and Jack and Sammy and Noah and Stella is like makes it 10 times more fun, you know, being on set with friends, so. Describe your style. I do like to experiment with my style, but lately, I'm really into like wearing things on my head, like the bandana or like head chains. This outfit is pretty much me right now, you know, like a vintage tee, a really cool jacket, a bandana, like boots. That's that's it. I feel like we're kind of like we're like hostesses right now. Like I want to be like serving somebody, like. Yeah. And um, my other job is um working at this diner and making milkshakes for people. And the only song that comes to my mind is. My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. Literally, the boys to the yard.

Young Hollywood

Oh, yes. That's the next video. The remake of the milkshake song. Oh my God. We did not know, but it really was filmed here. That's so cool. Right here. Okay, so now that makes that's all it's all coming. It's all making sense. And apparently haunted too.

Alli Simpson

It is haunted. There was something that fell. A plate fell. I'm serious. I'm getting really creeped out just thinking about it.

Young Hollywood

Is it haunted? Oh my God. Stop. Well, thank you so much, and good luck to me. I'm I just can't wait to see. I just feel like there's gonna be something, and you're gonna tweet out a story that some crazy thing happened on your music video. Thank you so much.

Alli Simpson

No, no, no. A ghost will come and do something crazy. Hope not. Bye.
