Global pop icon David Guetta keeps the smash hits coming with his new single ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’ alongside Grammy-nominated OneRepublic, out now on Warner. Guetta also returned to Ultra Miami for a huge performance with 3x Grammy award winning songwriter/producer and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder on 23rd March.
‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’ is poised to be another runaway success for the French mastermind, who crafts a euphoric chorus interpolating an infectious melody, while OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder’s unmistakeable vocals provide the poignant verses.
With a string of singles and collabs already under his belt, 2024 sees David Guetta picking up where he left off last year. 2023 included ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’ with pop megastars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray, which has earned over 700 million streams as the follow-up to Spotify global #1 and streaming monster, ‘I’m Good (Blue)’. The hit Bebe Rexha collaboration earned Guetta his eleventh Grammy nomination, receiving a nod for ‘Best Dance/Electronic Recording’, garnered 2.7 billion global streams, charted at #1 on the official charts across 11 markets, and peaked at #1 at US Top 40 & US Dance Radio charts.
OneRepublic is composed of singer/songwriter and frontman Ryan Tedder, guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, keys Brian Willett, bassist, cellist Brent Kutzle and drummer Eddie Fisher. The band released their debut set Dreaming Out Loud in 2007, which included the 20m-selling smash single ‘Apologize’, shattering digital sales and airplay records worldwide and receiving a Grammy nomination. The band’s 2013 hit single, “Counting Stars,” has over 4 billion views on YouTube and counting. The group is constantly setting records, amassing over 5B streams on Spotify to date. Their latest album, Human, from 2021, features singles, “Someday,” “Run,” “Somebody To Love,” “Wanted,” “Didn’t I,” “Better Days” and “Rescue Me,” which combined have over 2.5 billion global streams. Most recently, at the end of 2023, OneRepublic released “Dear Santa,” for the Holiday season. Earlier in the year, OneRepublic released “Runaway” and “Mirage (for Assassin’s Creed Mirage),” the first new tracks the band released since their smash hit, “I Ain’t Worried,” which was featured in the blockbuster hit, Top Gun: Maverick and boasts over 3 billion streams.
