Before she became well-known for her chorus on their song, she was an aspiring singer-songwriter who worked as a brunch waitress and bartender.
Her friend, Hollis Wong-Wear, who has sung on the duo's "White Walls," knew Mary was a struggling songwriter. She recommended Mary to the guys, who were trying to write a chorus to "Same Love."
"Hollis said, ‘Ryan’s going to send you the track. You have two hours,’” Lambert recalls. “I got off the phone and ran across the street to the bar where I worked and told my boss everything. We did a shot, then I sabered a bottle of champagne with a sword. Then I was like, ‘Okay, I’ve gotta fucking write this thing.’ Priorities."
