If this really is going to be the next single, it needs to be the original version. It's smooth, it's groovy, it's everything Justin Timberlake isn't anymore. I will reserve judgment until I hear the final version because it could just be a small portion of the song that is in the clip to throw us off. But if it were to be like that for more than just a short section, then I do not want it as a single.

This song didn't need a remix... Well, at least we're probably getting another single from the album after all this time.

SHAWN MENDES & ZEDD RELEASE “LOST IN JAPAN” REMIX
Multi-platinum singer-songwriter and Global Superstar Shawn Mendes has teamed up with multi-platinum, GRAMMY award-winning artist, DJ & producer Zedd to release a new remix for his latest single “Lost In Japan” via Island Records. Listen to it here! Shawn and Zedd teased the remix and artwork throughout the week, leading up to the song’s release today. “Lost In Japan” is now the official 2nd single from Shawn’s self titled 3rd album, following smash hit “In My Blood,”. The original version of the song has so far garnered 200M global streams.
Coinciding with the remix, Shawn & Zedd released a visualizer which can be seen here!
“When we decided to make Lost In Japan the next single, I wanted to do an exciting remix for the song, and with Zedd being a good friend and such an amazing artist, it felt natural to ask him to collaborate on it. What he did with it is so incredible and I’m so excited for the world to hear it”
“I was really excited when Shawn asked me to work on a new version of “Lost In Japan”. I tried to fuse both of our worlds together and bring us both to a place we wouldn’t have gone to by ourselves,” shares Zedd, “It’s my favorite song from the album so it was super fun to put my own touch to it.”
Tonight, Shawn will perform the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon & is also set to perform this weekend at New York’s Global Citizen Festival.

I can't believe they took 3 months (correct me if I'm wrong) to decide a SECOND single after "In My Blood" peaked. The worst is, the next single is a song that was released 6 months ago and doesn't need a remix. I get why they won't released "Youth", with Khalid's overexposure atm it would've flopped, but they shouldn't wait that long to release a second single.
I love Zedd too but he needs to improve his sound, Stay and Stay 2.0 (and on a lesser extent Happy Now) all sound the same.

So....is this technically the collab as well that had a thread a couple months back? I totally forgot that thread, so all the posts have been merged with this one, so there could be a little confusion in the previous page. Either way, if it's considered that the press release says that this is Shawn's second single from his self-titled third album, I'm moving this to the Top 40/M forum, assuming that an impact date will be announced soon.

I love Lost in Japan the original -- but since it's been so long since that was released initially to the public, and the label waited so long for a follow up to IMB, I think it was smart to do a remix to generate a bit of buzz and interest in Shawn. Of course, that's assuming the remix is actually good and not inferior to the original (which is great).

Remix is out now. On first listen, I like the remix -- but I think I much more prefer the original.

Listening to it right now and honestly, I really like it. It's a fair compromise between his current "clock" style and his previous EDM style.
The drop here is exceptionally satisfying even if apart of me prefers the original's more organic and funkier sound.

I like the remix a lot better than the original! Great job from Zedd and Shawn. It sounds much more commercial friendly. The original version sounds like it'd only be successful on HotAC.

The remix is terribly generic. It sounds like a knockoff of Disclosure's sound from a few years ago. The effects on the vocals during the chorus are unnecessary and almost sound like the song hasn't been mastered correctly. The song does sound like it's not mastered properly.
Just release the original set to a pornographic music video of Shawn lost in Japan finding himself and his way in the beds of lots and lots of beautiful, buff men. That's what the people want.

I hate this remix. The vocoder effects on Shawn’s voice are particularly jarring. As has already been said in this thread, this song didn’t need a remix to be a single, and it makes no sense to release it after it came out 6 months ago.

I like this remix. I wasn't a big fan of the original, but this remix has made me like it a little more. I prefer other songs on his album, but I'm ok with this remix being his next single.

I actually like the remix, but the original is better.
I fell absolutely in love with the original, the piano, the soft melody, the hints of jazz and disco. It's a cool song, but with the remix it now sounds a bit more generic pop, but that's fine since it isn't atrocious.

After a few more listens, yeah this is a bop. The production sounds similar to Stay & The Middle during the chorus, but that doesn't bother me. However, Shawn's vocals add a little something extra that makes me like this. Radio is gonna eat this up.

Bye. Era is cancelled :sip2:
This is so painfully generic. You can tell Zedd is just trying to get another #1. However, this is on first listen. I may need to listen to it more ti let my full opinion form. But now, this is trash.

They should have released Nervous in between IMB and this tbh, but this is cute and will probably do well.

I think I may like the original better. I like the remix but the song like others have said didn't need a remix. The vocoder vocals are a bit annoying.

I love the original so I tried to keep an open mind for the remix...
Zedd again with the ticking sounds? The sad part is that it works really well, but come on dude.
