Interesting facts and trivia about True Colors. By Songfacts®.

Zedd wrote this acoustic song with the Rock Mafia duo of Tim James and Antonina Armato. The production/songwriting team have penned a number of tracks for Selena Gomez, Zedd's girlfriend, including "Naturally," "Love You Like a Love Song" and "Do It."

This is the title track of Zedd's second album. The German producer explained to Billboard magazine why he named the record after this song. "I think it is a really important statement," he said. "The song means showing somebody your true colors, who you really are, what you're really about." "The same thing goes for the album: this is my way of showing people what I'm about," Zedd continued. "I love every sort of music, I've worked with a rapper for the first time which I probably would have been afraid to do before; I've worked with rock bands; and now I had the courage to go ahead and do the title song and do it fully acoustic."

Zedd recorded a revised version of the triumphal ballad with vocals by singer-songwriter Kesha. Released on April 29, 2016, it was Kesha's first new recording since 2013. The collaboration came about after Zedd contacted Kesha on Twitter as a result of her high-profile legal battle with Dr. Luke. He tweeted: "Very very sorry to hear about the whole situation. I'll be happy to produce a song for you if you want my help."
