![]() ![]() Jason Lipshutz: Consider “I’m Good” the 2022 version of Måneskin’s “Beggin’,” which became a global smash in 2021… as a cover of a 1967 Four Seasons song… that was originally performed and recorded in 2017. So yes, on paper all the elements add up to this song’s success, although at the same time it still kind of sounds like an algorithm at work. Guetta has never been afraid to trend-hop or to capitalize, and this one, like so many of his previous monster songs, demonstrates his truly singular ability to craft an earworm - or at least to expand on an already existent earworm. ![]() All of these songs together demonstrate a huge affection for that era and thus also an easy way for producers from across all electronic genres to score relatively easy hits. Katie Bain: There’s been a tidal wave of early 2000s samples/interpolations in dance music in the last year, with Acraze’s 2021 Cherish-sampling smash “Do It To It” more or less sparking the trend. Let’s not judge it for what it is, and just put it out. As Bebe told our very own Billboard Pop Shop Podcast (shameless plug), “Let’s just give the people what they want. The fact is, there have been stranger trajectories to a top 10 Hot 100 hit in 2022 than this one, so I’m just not going to overthink it and just keep dancing. Katie Atkinson: The math is still not mathing, but it doesn’t need to. Does the math add up to you for this one, or are you still having trouble wrapping your head around it? “I’m Good” is a 2015-recorded song interpolating a 2000 pop hit with tonight’s-gonna-be-a-good-night lyrics that sound like 2009 that got big after being shared on TikTok in 2022. Which artist stands to gain most from the song’s unexpected success? And is it the end of the trend or just the beginning? Billboard staffers discuss below.ġ. We really weren't very deep.Taylor Swift’s ‘Anti-Hero’ Rules Hot 100 for Fourth Week, David Guetta & Bebe Rexha Hit Top 10 ![]() that's a bunch of 9-year-olds' interpretation of the song when it first came out. "My friends and I used to sing that part as "I'm blue, if I was green I would die." we were in elementary so we thought the person's favorite color was blue and they hated the color green, so if they were green, they wouldn't like it. Then, the vocals were distorted using a device called "vocoder" and so it sounds strange and mysterious, but there’s no secret message there.Īnyway, my favourite comment comes from Ranna (Boondocks, IA), who says: Well, reality is often less exciting, and the truth is that the chorus says exactly that, "Da Ba Dee, Da Ba Die". Some popular interpretations are: "I’m blue and I’m in need of a guy / in Auberdeen I would die / and I believe I will die". If you listen carefully to it, it is not easy to know what it says, so there has been lots of opinions about what is "the secret message" contained in that cryptic sentence. When you are depressed, even the trees and the sky looks sad and depressing.īut the most interesting thing here is the chorus, the magic line " Da Ba Dee, Da Ba Die". He feels so sad that all his life and everything around him looks depressing. So the most obvious meaning for this song is the life of a man who is depressed. The music style called " blues" is a sad kind of music. " The blues" means depression, so you can say " I've got the blues" ( I'm depressed) or " That gives me the blues" ( that makes me feel sad). ![]() IT’S STANDING OUTSIDE= He refers to his car (a corvette), which is parked outside.įirst of all, let’s say that in English blue is the colour of sadness, so the expression " I’m blue" means " I’m sad, I’m depressed". Notice that in these examples we’re using the double negative (ain’t / nobody), which is incorrect in standard English but quite common in slang (very colloquial English).ĭA BA DEE= We’ve already talked about this line in the section about the general meaning of the song. I ain’t got nobody= I haven’t got anybody. Or maybe this really means "his self", which is "his inner essence".ĪIN’T (coll.)= The negative form of the verbs "to be" and "to have": There guys, money doesn’t bring happiness.ĮVERYTHING IS BLUE FOR HIM= From his point of view (in his opinion) everything is sad.ĪND HIS SELF= In some English dialects they use "his-self" instead of "himself". Listen up= A more emphatic way to say "Listen".īLUE HIS HOUSE= A shortened sentence which means "his house is blue".ĬORVETTE= An expensive brand of car ( you can see the picture here), so this depressed man is rich. YO! (slang)= A cry used as a greeting or to attract someone's attention. About a little guy that lives in a blue worldīlue are the streets and all the trees are tooīlue are the people here that walk aroundīlue like my corvette, it's standing outsideīlue are the words I say and what I thinkīlue are the feelings that live inside me ![]()
