Joe Hendry Explains How His Song on Logan Paul Came About & Motivation Behind Writing Parody Songs

Joe Hendry has got off to a great start on the main roster, as fans have really warmed up to his concerts. Hendry made his WWE RAW debut in stunning fashion on April 27, 2026, debuting the now-famous “Let’s fire Logan Paul” song.

The song has become a raging hit, with fans singing along in unison with the former TNA World Champion. A music video of the song has since been released. Hendry appeared on Chris Van Vliet’s INSIGHT podcast this week. During the conversation, he explained how the song came about.

Hendry revealed that the initial idea was to write a song celebrating his RAW debut. However, he soon realized that it was missing a catchy hook. At this point, he decided to watch the previous episodes of RAW. After noticing Logan Paul being vehemently booed by the audience, Joe said that he decided to focus on the social media influencer-turned pro wrestler.

Hendry also agreed with Chris Van Vliet’s analysis that the motivation behind writing these songs is two-fold: 1) to get the audience hooked, and 2) to advance his storyline. Below are the highlights:

Joe Hendry on How ‘Let’s Fire Logan Paul’ Came About

“So I think it’s a huge challenge to try and get something that is going to make the audience laugh, they’re going to remember, and you hope it goes viral as well. I remember I was working on this song, and I just wasn’t really sure what the big hook was going to be. The song was about me signing to Raw. So it started off with the ‘Raw, Raw, Joe Hendry’s signed to Raw.’ But then if I’m struggling with an idea, I’ll watch the previous week’s TV. Anytime I saw Logan about to speak, he wouldn’t be able to; there’d be so many boos. So I was like, ‘I have to go straight after Logan. Sorry, Logan.'”

On the Motivations Behind the Songs

“You’ve nailed it right there. So basically, it’s two things. One is you want to say something that’s relevant to what you’re doing and the story and who you’re working with, but you also want the audience to be able to sing along, and the easiest way to do that is to use a song that everybody knows. That’s where it gets really challenging when you have to create a song that you’re going I have to write something so catchy that’s not only relevant to the situation, but the audience is going to be able to sing after hearing it only one time. That’s a really hard thing to do, but when you nail it, you know you’ve nailed it.”
