David Guetta ft Nicki, Bebe, & Afrojack - "Hey Mama"

[Deleted]

Single #4 off Listen, it was the only real hit off the album
Peaking at #8 on the Hot 100
IMO the song is catchy but the lyrics are pretty bad, can't have the best of both worlds I guess

[Normi]

Only real US hit
'Lovers on the Sun' and 'Dangerous' were #1s in Germany (and high in other countries as well) while WIDFL was Top 10 in the UK

I remember being pissed at how Bebe Rexha wasn't credited on the song
Was a great song though but I wouldn't consider it one of his best

[Choco]

Was fun for a while, but I don't listen to it anymore.

[LBTrocks]

This is a JAM! I don't seek it out much anymore, but it'll always be a great song.

[Glove Slap]

Yeah LOTS & Dangerous were huge in Europe, and bigger than this in most countries there.

I've never been that fond of this, one of my least favorite Guetta singles. I like Nicki's parts, but the chorus is just a big clunk for me. I'd also have preferred Nicki to sing it.

I thought this was hot garbage when it was out and I still think it is hot garbage. I did like the "Yes I do the cooking, yes I do the cleaning, plus I keep the na-na real sweet, for your eating" line though.

I thought it was messed up that Bebe Rexha wasn't given proper credit for a portion of the song's chart run.

Bebe did a long podcast episode of And The Writer Is and talked about this. She actually was moved to tears when recalling how hurt she was when they didn't give her the proper credit. My heart broke even more than when I first heard about it :(

She said she was hurt when she found out they filmed the video without her too, and that no one even contacted her. She gave her lawyer a lot of credit and said he fought hard enough to get her officially credited on Billboard towards the end, but that the impact had already been made. It's still so unfair and gets me so pissed that the person who SINGS THE CHORUS of the song wasn't credited. Reminds me of how Ester Dean was never credited for Super Bass.

Poor Bebe
At least she got her own video in the desert that I personally preferred, "I Got You"

[Suono]

Seems like Bebe is over this but I'M STILL NOT

[kcdawg13]

She was so screwed over, made Guetta look like a real douchebag

[Suono]

Just a random note saying that the Club Killers remix of this is timeless and improves the song so much. What a freaking JAM.

Didn't really like this

[Zach]

I've always thought this was a catchy song but it got overplayed hard here so I got tired it after a while.

[Fire]

i really dont want to like this but seriously, this has always been a guilty pleasure for me lmao

[Deleted]

I loved this then and I love it now. A bop.
