Song |
"Sexy Bitch" (retitled "Sexy Chick" when censored), is a song recorded by French producer David Guetta. It features Senegalese-American R&B singer Akon and was released digitally on July 24, 2009 worldwide and later on July 28 in the United States.[3] It is the second single from Guetta's fourth studio album One Love following "When Love Takes Over". The song has become a worldwide hit, reaching the top spot on thirteen different charts so far. Additionally, the song also appears in DJ Hero as part of downloadable content.
Inception
After a concert in England in which he performed his hit single "When Love Takes Over", Guetta was approached by Akon, who expressed interest in collaborating. Though Akon was constrained by a 6am flight the following morning, Guetta convinced him to work through the night on the song at a nearby studio.[4]
Critical reception
"Sexy Bitch" was praised by Entertainment Weekly, which called it "a thumping club jam with R&B star Akon."[5] The song was praised by Michael Menachem of Billboard, saying "[d]on't be surprised if this track takes over dancefloors as the summer ends."[6] Digitalspy gave it 3/5 stars, criticising the lyrics while admitting that "the beats and big old hook [were] enough to make [the song] bearable."[7]
Music video
The video starts with a plane coming and girls in bikinis are seen tanning and swimming. The camera switches to Akon who wakes up and finds pictures of his date from David Guetta's pool party. He then finds lipstick note on his mirror that reads "find me at the pool party" with yet another photo. As the party starts, people enter; a group of teenage boys are not allowed but they employ various methods to get in. The camera switches to Akon again, who is shown singing underwater. The camera flicks to Guetta arriving meeting up with Akon, who then grabs Guetta and they throw each other in the pool. The party continues as Akon pushes more people in, girls dance and Akon with Guetta are shown to be having a water fight. The scene then skips to a club that is called "F*** Me, I'm Famous" where David Guetta is performing a concert with Tocadisco, and Akon is walking in from the back, where he meets some girls. Akon then arrives and performs "Sexy Bitch" at the concert. A light up man in blue and green appears. Girls are shown dancing and Akon does a crowd surf before the video ends. At the end, Akon is seen sleeping in the bed waking up finding pictures but goes back to sleep.
The video was filmed in Ibiza, Barcelona, Spain, and Swindon, England around July 27, 2009.[8]
