Song

"Waves" is a song by Dutch singer Mr Probz. It was initially released as a stand-alone digital single on 26 April 2013, becoming a top ten hit in the Netherlands.

The song became an international hit upon being remixed in a more up-tempo fashion by German DJ and record producer Robin Schulz, with Schulz's remix topping the charts in multiple countries, including Austria, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. "Waves" was sent to US dance radio by Ultra Music on 14 April 2014.[1] The remix was the fourth best-selling song of 2014 in the UK, selling over 800,000 copies.

On 27 April 2014, "Waves" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, selling 127,000 copies in its first week,[3] and then remained there the following week. The song also peaked at number one in Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. In the United States, the remix reached number one on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart for the issue dated 16 August 2014.[4] "Waves" also topped the UK's Official Audio Streaming Chart for eight consecutive weeks and ended 2014 as both the UK's fourth most streamed track and fourth best-seller, with 32.1 million streams and selling 815,000 copies.[5]

Music video

The music video for the remix of "Waves" was shot in Tulum, Mexico and released on 3 February 2014;[6] another identical version was uploaded by Ultra Music the following day.[7] Belarusian model Maryna Linchuk and British model James Penfold star in the video as a couple. The video begins with Penfold swimming towards a desert island whilst lying on a surfboard. After reaching the shore and knocking some coconuts down from a tree, he recounts a time when he and his girlfriend were on holiday together. They are shown to get on very well at first, but then have several arguments, and this culminates in them breaking up one evening. The scene switches to Penfold sitting in a jacuzzi and drinking several shots of vodka, and he then collapses back-first into the jacuzzi. The video ends with Penfold lying in the middle of the ocean, again on his surfboard. Whether or not he is alive is left to the imagination.[8] The video has over 200 million views of as of January 2016.[6]
