What did Zedd say about "Stay the Night"?
Genius Answer

Zedd told MTV:

Although my music is electronic, it has a lot of influences from my past, which is all sorts of genres; I’ve been in a rock-metal band for a long time, and I still feel like, personally, I have a lot of influence from that. My classical influence, you can find spots here and there. I think [Hayley Williams and I] have a similar background, musically, and maybe that’s why it fits so well … I feel like a lot of other genres are in my music even though they’re not in the spotlight.
