"Everyone wants to feel good and happy right now."
Bebe Rexha believes the success of 'I'm Good (Blue)' is due to nostalgia and the public's love for 2000s music.
David Guetta's single 'I'm Good (Blue)' by Bebe Rexha continues its successful run around the world and especially in Europe, where it has reached number one in numerous countries.
"I'm Good (Blue)" is a remix of the unforgettable song "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65, which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2000.
Why Is David Guetta's Cover Of Bebe Rexha Suddenly So Popular? The American singer attributes the success to a combination of nostalgia and the fact that she has a great track record with the French DJ and music producer.
"I grew up listening to dance music and 'Blue' was definitely a part of my childhood," the 33-year-old singer told ABC Audio.
“I remember it so clearly and I love that song so much. And I never thought we'd do a remix of it," he said.
There's a reason he never thought they'd do a remix: It hadn't been officially released. Bebe Rexha and David Guetta had recorded a demo version of "I'm Good (Blue)" about five years ago, but when someone accidentally posted the song on YouTube, it went viral and eventually found its way through the TikTok.
After the spread of "I'm Good (Blue)", David Guetta and Bebe Rexha returned to the song and recorded an official version of it.
"I think people are loving the 2000s right now and its revival," said Bebe Rexha, explaining the song's success.
“And I think everyone wants to feel good and happy. And I think it's just the perfect combination, everyone wants to have fun, feel happy – and the 2000s,” he added.
'I'm Good (Blue)', which has amassed nearly 327 million streams on Spotify, follows David Guetta and Bebe Rexha's successful collaborations, which include mega hits like 'Hey Mama' and 'Say My Name".
Bebe Rexha thinks she 'makes a great team' with David Guetta because they're both dramatic.
“He likes really big sounds, really big choruses, big drops. And I personally, in music, love the dramatic parts. I am a virgin. So I think when we get together, it creates this perfect mix and match of our sounds and they work really well together,” he said.
In Greece, David Guetta's "I'm Good (Blue)" by Bebe Rexha is currently at No. 2 of the IFPI International Digital Singles Chart (streaming) and at No. 3 on the International Airplay Chart (radios).
