While talking about the idea of ‘fourfiveseconds’ to DIY, McCartney said, “We ended up just talking a lot," he explained. “I played a few little things and one of them ended up as ‘FourFiveSeconds’ with Rihanna.” "It’s more a question of me feeling lucky that these people are interested [in working with me] and think that I can bring something to it. For me, I feel great. I like diversity," he added.

McCartney will continue with his “Freshen up” tour performances across Europe next year. The “Fourfiveseconds”  reunion is expected to last for more than four-five hours.
