"I'm Good (Blue)" is a song by French DJ David Guetta and American singer Bebe Rexha. It was released as a single on 26 August 2022, through What a DJ and Warner UK. The song was written by Kamille and Rexha, who composed the track alongside Deba Dakaj, Phil Plested and Guetta, with production handled by Guetta and Timofey Reznikov. The song heavily samples Eiffel 65's 1998 single "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", as such, Eiffel 65 members Jeffrey Jey and Maurizio Lobina, as well as the original track's co-producer Massimo Gabutti, are given writing credits.[1]
"I'm Good (Blue)" was recorded, performed and remixed several years before it went viral on TikTok in 2022. Rexha later re-recorded her vocals for the track before it was released as a single. It has topped the charts in 15 countries so far such as Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. It also reached the top ten in seventeen other music markets including France and Germany.
Background and release
Guetta and Rexha previously collaborated on the singles "Hey Mama" (2015), "Say My Name" (2018) and "Family" (2021), and on the tracks "Yesterday" (2015) and "Last Hurrah (Remix)" (2019), most of which achieved commercial success.[2]
Guetta first played "I'm Good (Blue)" during his set at Ultra Music Festival 2017. However, it was not until August 2022 that a snippet of the song would go viral.[3] By time it was released, it had already amassed 130,000 creations and 500 million total views on TikTok.[4]
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Rexha said that they "put the 'nostalgic remix together so naturally'".[5]
Composition
The song was described as an "emotional club hit" which combines Rexha's "sentimental vocals" with "euphoric piano chords" and "thrilling dancefloor energy".[2] The song heavily samples Eiffel 65's 1998 single "Blue (Da Ba Dee)".[6]
Commercial performance
The song debuted at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated 10 September 2022. It later peaked at number 16, making it Guetta's tenth and Rexha's seventh top-40 hit. It is notably Guetta's first top-40 song in the US since 2017's "2U".[7]
Music video
The music video for the song, filmed in Ibiza in early September 2022 and directed by KC Locke, was released on 20 September.[8]
