Bebe rexha david guetta im good1/17/2024 “I’m Good” is a 2015-recorded song interpolating a 2000 pop hit with tonight’s-gonna-be-a-good-night lyrics that sound like 2009 that got big after being shared on TikTok in 2022. Which artist stands to gain most from the song’s unexpected success? And is it the end of the trend or just the beginning? Billboard staffers discuss below.ġ. “Come on, we’re not going to stop here,” Guetta says.Taylor Swift’s ‘Anti-Hero’ Rules Hot 100 for Fourth Week, David Guetta & Bebe Rexha Hit Top 10 Don’t be too surprised, however, if the duo hits the studio together again soon. “I’m thinking about it.” Rexha has another club collaboration on the way and is quietly plotting her third album release. “I’ve had quite a few hits in the last two years,” he says. Guetta, for example, hasn’t ruled out releasing an album. With a worldwide hit on their hands, both artists are contemplating their next move. He makes dance music for the mainstream in a really dope way.” “We have great musical chemistry,” she says. “She also has a crazy work ethic.” Rexha puts their ongoing success down to their easygoing working relationship. “She’s an amazing singer, but also a great songwriter,” Guetta says. With six hit collaborations to their credit, Guetta and Rexha’s creative chemistry is undeniable. But this time it worked better than we could ever imagine.” “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. “Doing something simple that doesn’t feel cheesy is very difficult,” Guetta says. Revisiting “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” seems like an easy win, but the DJ pushes back. “Sometimes when you manage to express a simple emotion, people really relate to it,” he says. Guetta, on the other hand, suspects the key to the song’s popularity lies in its simplicity. “I also think people have been cooped up for three years and they just want to be happy and feel good.” “People love nostalgia and the ‘00s are back in full force when it comes to fashion and music,” says Rexha. When asked why “I’m Good (Blue)” is connecting like it is, their opinions differ slightly. “It’s refreshing that we are living in a time where really people are choosing what they want to listen to.” “It’s incredible,” Guetta says of the dance anthem’s success. Understanding the relatively short shelf life of a viral trend, the collaborators didn’t waste time. A snippet of the DJ set had been used in more than 130,000 “creates” and amassed more than 500 million views on TikTok - numbers that have since doubled. “I really had no idea people were into the song.” And Rexha wasn’t exaggerating. “Bebe texted me saying we need to put the record out, that it’s exploding everywhere,” Guetta says. “I was told it pops up on YouTube every year, goes viral and then gets pulled down.” Her first thought? “I got to call Guetta!” “I go to YouTube and it has 30 million views,” Rexha says. “I was like, ‘Damn, David and I had an idea to do that back in the day.’” She sent it to her social media manager who promptly informed her that she was, in fact, listening to her own song. “I was just scrolling on TikTok and I heard a girl singing on a remix of ‘Blue,’” Rexha laughs. A bootleg immediately became popular on YouTube and eventually, in 2022, the banger found its way to TikTok. Guetta and Rexha recorded another collaboration titled “Say My Name” in 2018 and “I’m Good (Blue)” was largely forgotten - at least by the artists. It would be the song’s first and last official spin. He suspected, however, that it would make a good addition to his DJ set and premiered it at Ultra Music Festival that same year. Initially, Guetta thought the track didn’t quite work.
