David Guetta’s remix of this popular Black Eyed Peas song brought his signature electronic dance music style to the track, adding a new dimension to the original and contributing to its continued popularity in clubs and on the dance floor. His involvement helped shape the track’s distinctive sound, though the primary credit for the song’s success goes to The Black Eyed Peas and their production team. Additionally, David Guetta worked with the group on their 2010 album “The Beginning,” contributing to tracks like “Rock That Body“.


3. Diplo & M.I.A. – “Paper Planes”
