Where does a song cross the line into being a cover?
Well, this song started off life in 2017, as a fun studio exercise built off an Eiffel 65 sample but never intended for release.
Fast forward to 2022, when TikTok was a thing and the snippet leaked. Guetta and Rexha very quickly finished their song and, well, instant hit. It ended up being her biggest hit everywhere in the world EXCEPT for the United States, where it was a huge hit but she's had bigger that we'll probably never mention here again.
Anyway, the song clearly takes the beat from "Blue (Da Ba Bee)" but these are, for the most part, brand new lyrics. And yeah, the song is a LOT of fun.
The video above was largely compiled from a live appearance Rexha and Guetta made together, where they seemed to be having a LOT of fun. Here is that live performance.
Not that she needs David Guetta to have a good time.
Even with a slowed-down version and a full orchestra, she seems to still be having fun. Also, the pipes! You can hear the helper tracks on the other performances, but not here. She's singing the hell out of this.
