How did the collab happen?
Taking to Instagram to reveal how the collab came about, David Guetta revealed: "So guys, I'm really excited, I've been a fan with 'Rather Be' and 'Symphony', and I love that you're so musical, as much as I love crazy sounds, I really love even more crazy music, so it was really the case always with you, so I'm so happy we could make this record finally together.
"The way it happened is, we have Anne-Marie as a common friend and you know that she sent me this song, and I was like what is this? This is fire, so the music wins over anything and your music has always been so beautiful, so I'm super happy we can make this record together finally."
Clean Bandit's Jack Patterson then responded saying: "We so honoured to work with you, it's fantastic. We're huge fans, so yeah, this is a dream come true!"
David then continued: "And tonight we're going to party together!"
