The article also asks Stephen about the collaboration:

I came up with the music first, then recorded it and sent it to Tim. He came up with the lyrics and melody. When I write music, I usually start with a guitar or bass riff, or a vocal melody and go from there. On this record I had written vocal melodies for most of the songs, but let the singers do their own or change them if they wanted to. Tim wanted to do his own melody on this song, which was fine with me. I love what he came up with.
