Last updated 1st Apr 2019
He's one of the biggest music stars in the world but the question on everybody's lips is 'Does Calvin Harris sing his own songs'?
Well the answer is an almighty YES!
Calvin Harris, real name Adam Wiles, has used his vocals on a number of his massive hits including the likes of 'Summer' and 'My Way' but it was way back in 2007 when Calvin first started singing.
What songs does Calvin sing on?
Check out the full list below:
Before making it as a megastar, Calvin used his vocals on his his 2007 hit 'Acceptable In The 80's'.
He then sang on follow up track 'The Girls' in 2007.
And used his vocals once again to score a UK Official Number 1 with the track 'I'm Not Alone' in 2009.
Check out this video of Calvin singing 'I'm Not Alone' live at T In The Park back in 2010.
In the same year Calvin released 'Ready For The Weekend' which was the second single from the same titled album.
The singer turned DJ then released upbeat track 'Flashback', which he sings on.
Despite the popularity of these tracks, Calvin decided to lend vocals from his fellow superstars for his next few singles.
The 33-year-old teamed up with Rihanna on 'We Found Love', Kelis on 'Bounce' and Ne-Yo on 'Let's Go', all scoring him top two places in the UK charts.
That was until he dropped 'Feel So Close' in 2011! Returning with his own vocals, Calvin sings the now famous lyrics 'I feel so close to you right now'.
The track has become a fan favourite during live shows, with Calvin singing 'Feel So Close' live at some of his shows.
Calvin then went back to releasing massive collaborations with the likes of Florence Welch, Example, Ellie Goulding and Tinie Tempah, before dropping his single 'Under Control' with Alesso.
Despite many thinking Calvin sings on 'Under Control', he actually drafted in help from Theo Hutchcraft after admitting he thought his own singing sounded 'terrible' on it.
Calvin returned to singing his own songs back in 2014 when he dropped the track 'Summer'. Calvin sings the whole of 'Summer' without any collabs.
It proved a good decision by Calvin as he scored a number one in the Official UK Charts.
'Summer' proved to be the last single Calvin would sing on for a number of years.
Continuing to conquer the charts with collaborations, Calvin's vocals finally returned in 2016 when he dropped his single 'My Way'.
Fans were delighted that Calvin chose to sing on 'My Way' resulting in the track becoming a massive hit for the Scotsman.
After the release Calvin revealed it was actually Pharrell who persuaded him to sing on the track and realised he can use his vocal talents to his advantage.
Speaking during an interview, Calvin said, “There's a lot of DJ producers, and I look at myself and I think, ‘What do I have to offer that they don’t? What can I do that they can’t?’ Because you know, we all pretty much do the same thing.”
But it seems Calvin isn't sticking to his word of wanting to sing on his own songs more.
Earlier this year when he was teasing new music, fans were left wondering if Calvin would sing on 'Slide', but when the track finally landed they were left disappointed when it only featured vocals from Frank Ocean and Migos.
Calvin also doesn't sing in his latest single 'Heatstroke', instead he enlisted the help from pop princess Ariana Grande, Pharrell Williams and Young Thug.
With Calvin promising yet more music in 2017, we will have to wait and see whether Calvin sings on his own songs again.
