One Direction creator Cowell joined him Additional in a recent interview to talk about his new talent discovery program in partnership with TikTok, “StemDrop – A Song for the World.” The project will be launched at the end of this month.
During the interview, the producer also explained his smoking habit, and that he began to reduce it under the supervision of his son, Eric. Powell revealed that she had to sneak around the house to get “four puffs” while her son followed her.
He said, “He’s really strict. If he catches me, it’s like going back to school. He’s a teacher. I have to sneak behind the fence, and I have four puffs, and I can see him following me, but I told him on the day another, ‘Thanks to you, I almost quit.’

While talking to Sun in a previous interview, Cowell’s ex-girlfriend Sinitta revealed that the eight-year-old followed her father around and only allowed him to “huff” his cigarettes. “He [Eric] followed him and only allowed Simon to smoke a cigarette,” he said. “He always said ‘how many puffs, how many puffs.’ Eric is like the little cigarette cop and keeps him on his toes,”
Sinitta, Eric’s godmother, stated that Cowell not only smokes but producers have been caught vaping several times. The “Cross My Broken Hearts” artist says the talent show judge doesn’t consider herself an addict and claims she can quit whenever she wants.
“He doesn’t see himself as addicted because he says he can cut back whenever he wants,” she said. “He probably smokes one cigarette, maybe two a day. But what he did was light a cigarette and smoke a stick and put it out – he did it several times during the day.”

During his interview with Additional, Cowell revealed that he will be working with Max Martin, the Grammy-winning songwriter behind Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time.” He explained that the new project will allow people around the world to come together to record their unique versions of new songs.
The producer said, “Imagine if you saw some of the biggest songwriters in the world write a new song, and instead of giving it to a famous artist, you give it to the world to record… We’re going to put it down on TikTok basically for the world to record their version of the song.”
Cowell revealed that the name of the first song was “Red Light” and that he was nervous at first because he wasn’t sure he would like the song even though everything was set up, but he “really liked it.”

Further, the X Factor creator said that the whole purpose of “Stemdrop” is to find new talent. Cowell continued, “The hardest thing if you don’t write your own material is how you get on the first ladder, and I think this might be part of the missing link.”
The producer also revealed that he considers the important thing in a musician’s career to be “hit songs.” He noted the boy band he formed, One Direction, whose “What Makes You Beautiful” stood out to him as soon as he heard it.
Cowell also shared that he immediately recognized Martin’s “Baby One More Time” as a hit and really wanted it for his then boy band Five (5ive). The songwriter, Martin, revealed that he already made a promise to Spears and stuck to his word despite the sweet promises of the producer.
