This sounds so stale I can't believe it's doing this well, and Guetta barely even changes the sample that it sounds like a glorified cover. And Bebe Rexha remains completely anonymous, literally no personality whatsoever. I'm actually a little surprised she even worked with Guetta again after the whole "Hey Mama" debacle.

It's doing well because of the nostalgia factor. The only thing this did for me is get me to update the original with a 2022 soundfont because the original's production doesn't hold up. Still has a lot going for it, just needs to sound... cleaner, if that makes sense. Might post it when finished. I'm actually a little surprised she even worked with Guetta again after the whole "Hey Mama" debacle. Pretty sure that was Nicki's team. She got her paycheck from the writing credits anyway, I don't think she's too mad about it.

Bebe might as well do a re-release of her sophomore album with this song. "Sacrifice", "Trust Fall", and "Death Row" are underrated af.

The only thing this did for me is get me to update the original with a 2022 soundfont because the original's production doesn't hold up. The original does sound dated now (although it's a legendary song in my opinion and always will be). But I think this version sounds like a 2010 song. Honestly if it was released then it wouldn't have sounded out of place at all, which maybe means pop music production technology just hasn't improved very much in the past decade, I don't know. But compare it to When Love Takes Over for example, which is also a song by David Guetta with piano arpeggios as its main musical feature (except in this case they seem to be taken from Clocks by Coldplay). Coincidentally Flo Rida sampled Eiffel 65 around this time as well.

Coincidentally Flo Rida sampled Eiffel 65 around this time as well. The original absolutely holds up. It’s got maybe 9 multitracks and it’s simple as hell, but it’s a damn good dance song and a case study for “less is more”. When I said I was updating it, I meant giving it a spit shine (mostly the percussion and bass), not reworking it from the ground up. If it ain’t broke, etc. Part of that is because this sounds so dated to me, but I also see the appeal in a throwaway dance song that samples/interpolates such a highly regarded hit. Let’s be honest, fresh is a relative term and there’s also a lot of nostalgia for the 2010s. This song serves its purpose fine.

Like previously mentioned, this is #1 on TTH for Spotify, but this is also now #4 on TTH for Apple Music (up from #12)!
SMASH.

The demo is definitely more interesting but still sounds kind of off to me. Almost sounds like a deadmau5 demo. Pretty sure that was Nicki's team. She got her paycheck from the writing credits anyway, I don't think she's too mad about it. I think I saw an interview years later where she was explaining the story of how they ghosted her and filmed the video without her in secret and started crying while telling this. So, I think it really hurt her at the time, especially after the Monster thing where they used her vocals without credit too. Yikes. She’s got a history of being done dirty and demanding respect, which she should honestly even if I don’t care for her. I would imagine what I said still holds up though, at least in the sense that she’s let it go.

This just feels like an undercooked 2010 club smash. This and that Black Eyed Peas single.

And Bebe Rexha remains completely anonymous, literally no personality whatsoever. I'm actually a little surprised she even worked with Guetta again after the whole "Hey Mama" debacle. The song was first leaked around 2017, it just wasn't offiically released back then. The demo blew up on TikTok randomly over the summer, and people were begging for it to be released, so they cleaned it up a bit and decided to release it now. I think she actually sounds much more unique on the demo, which is why it blew up, but this new version is great too. all the comments being like "I need this asap on Apple Music you guys!!! You are missing a #1 with this!!!!"Wow, the demo's hook is so much better vocally, true Bebe screaming. It reminds me a bit of Krewella's Alive. This is also a song that I prefer the clean version of over the explicit. In general though, I don't care for the song. The drop is really weak to me as it relies too much on the piano melody

I remember that’s also why when “Meant to Be” exploded, she recorded a version where she sings the first verse instead of FGL and sent that to radio stations. She didn’t want to seem like a feature on her own song.
I admire that about her honestly, she fiercely demands what’s hers.

Guetta barely even changes the sample that it sounds like a glorified cover. I actually think I would like it better if it was a cover. Part of what leaves me cold about this is the threadbare lyrics, and the long stanza's where the only thing that's there is the soundscape beat. If they had incorporated some of the original lyrics I think it would have padded the song out, and made the song fuller. As it stands the beat feels empty for most of the song. Beyond happy for her that this is a hit though.

All for Bebe getting another hit. She’s from my neck of the woods and always been rooting for her. She deserves all the success and hope this translates to her solo career. This is gonna smash.

This is the first time the most people have heard her since I'm a Mess in 2018. Good for her. I do think the drop is sorta weak but maybe there's some prime Guetta (2009-2012-ish) nostalgia to that.
