Bebe Rexha Was "Nervous" to Work With David Guetta

In the genre of dance-pop, Bebe Rexha and David Guetta stand as an unstoppable force. Since their initial collaboration on the chart-topping 'Hey Mama' in 2015, this musical duo has consistently delivered global hits, earning them platinum status and not one but two joint Grammy nominations.

Their latest track, 'One in a Million,' is currently in the running for the 'Best Pop Dance Recording' at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Speaking about the nomination, Rexha shares, "Every time I'm nominated, it's kind of a pinch-me moment. It shows that [Guetta] and I really do have a very special connection, musically."

The roots of this collaboration trace back to Rexha's early career after her breakthrough with 'Take Me Home' in 2013. Recollecting their first encounter at a studio session, she reminisces, "I remember being really nervous. I got in, and he played me an idea [...] 'Hey Mama' was done, and he was going crazy. It was a very surreal moment."

The success of 'Hey Mama' marked a turning point, propelling Rexha into the global music scene, despite the initial bittersweet experience of not being credited as a featured artist.

Reflecting on those early challenges, Rexha notes, "You live and you learn, and that was part of my journey. We've created a stronger relationship since then." This resilience and growth are evident in their subsequent hits, such as the country-pop crossover 'Meant to Be' with Florida Georgia Line, which dominated the charts and earned Grammy recognition.

Looking ahead, Bebe Rexha and David Guetta show no signs of slowing down. The Grammy-nominated 'One in a Million' is just the tip of the iceberg, with Rexha revealing, "He and I have built such an incredible connection. I think we'll pretty much be working with each other and in each other's lives for as long as we can."
