MTV News caught up with Jesse McCartney and Ludacris on the set of their ‘How Do You Sleep’ remix video shoot, with both artists promising the Sean Garrett-produced track is going to be the jam of 2009.

“We’re setting the bar high for 2009 features,” McCartney said. “It’s gonna be a big year. It’s gonna be a big song. My boy Sean Garrett, who is probably one of the biggest songwriters of our generation, sort of facilitated the whole thing. Sean called up Luda, Luda hopped on the joint, and here we are shooting the video.”

Jesse McCartney and Ludacris have collaborated on the remix to McCartney’s single ‘How Do You Sleep?’ – and People.com has the first listen of the track. “I’ve been a fan of Luda’s throughout his career, and having him on this track was an amazing honor,” McCartney says of the collaboration. “He’s innovative across the board and always brings the freshest lyrics to any track.” Listen to the song here.

B96’s Showbiz Shelly interviewed Jesse McCartney before his performance at the B96 Jingle Bash in Chicago. The pop singer talked about getting a Grammy nomination for his songwriting of Leona Lewis’ hit single ‘Bleeding Love’, shooting a ‘How Do You Sleep?’ video, his New Year’s resolutions, what he’s got in the pipeline in 2009, his cameo in ‘Law & Order: SVU’, his stint in ‘Greek’, his plans for the Christmas break and favorite part of the holiday season, wanting to head to Las Vegas for New Year’s, promising to be back “bigger and harder” in 2009, and more.

Jesse was also asked about those neighbors who think he’s a nightmare throwing parties all the time and have shared their grief with TMZ, Perez Hilton and others. “I think the biggest gift for them is for me to just move at this point,” Jesse said. “Which is something I’m thinking about quite frankly. I probably won’t be home for a little while. They’ll get a little break… There’s a few neighbors I’ll probably get a gift for. A few of them are really cool.” When Shelly said he has really wild parties, Jesse insisted, “It’s not even true, they’re just a little crazy.”
