But if you&#8217;re out of the loop, this is the start of your Jack Antonoff internet rabbit hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks ago, in the midst of the debate around whether Doechii&#8217;s Anxiety was great or awful, I was feeling nostalgic for an old cover of the songs original sample. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye featuring Kimbra is a song that needs no introduction. As the biggest song of 2012, it spent 8 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, but the version of the song I was craving is fun.&#8217;s BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge cover featuring Hayley Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went to YouTube, found the video and was shocked to see who was playing guitar alongside frontman Nate Ruess in signature round spectacles. None other than the most influential producer in modern pop, Jack Antonoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Fun Gotye Hayley Williams Video Somebody That I Used To Know BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge 2012\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GCim_0MZ2qI?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">No longer available on the BBC, this is the only video available of fun&#8217;s 2012 Live Lounge performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This felt a bit like finding Wally in a Spider-Man comic. I had completely missed that the mega-producer behind Sabrina Carpenter&#8217;s Short n&#8217; Sweet, Lorde&#8217;s Melodrama and Taylor Swift&#8217;s last 5 albums was also in the band behind &#8216;We Are Young&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before his time with fun, Antonoff had his musical breakthrough in 2003 with Steel Train, releasing two albums with the band before Nate Ruess recruited him to join fun in 2011. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" data-src=\"https:\/\/illuminatedmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2025\/06\/Fun._Concert_in_Vegas_Nate_and_Jack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2378 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 960px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 960\/638;width:489px;height:auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">fun. performing in Vegas, 2012, Nate Ruess and Jack Antonoff &#8211; Image by Katie Fricker, wikimedia commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun&#8217;s last release is now 11 years ago, and since then Antonoff has produced 10 albums with Grammy Nominations for Album of the Year. With three of those winning, he has six more golden gramophones from other categories, including Producer of the Year which he won three years in a row for 2022, 23 and 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antonoff&#8217;s ability to show up in places unexpectedly extends beyond his history as a band member. As well as his ability to consistently produce pop bangers, he&#8217;s also the main producer behind Kendrick Lamar&#8217;s album GNX and has been a staple in Lana Del Rey&#8217;s recording studio sessions since 2019, producing four of her last five albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also shows up unexpectedly in a marriage with superstar actress Margaret Qualley, with the two&#8217;s love story the focus of Lana Del Rey&#8217;s 2023 song &#8216;Margaret&#8217;
