David Guetta, multi-platinum artist Teddy Swims, and record-smashing pop artist Tones And I team up to release “Gone Gone Gone.” Out now via Atlantic Records (Warner Music), the new single is a soaring soul-pop tribute to the powerful pull of toxic love driven by undeniable dance-floor rhythms and clap-along gospel energy.
The blockbuster collaboration opens on house keys and misty atmosphere before exploding into a riot of shuffling drums, golden sax, and searing strings. Teddy Swims sets the tone with his unmistakable, dynamic voice: “We were fire, impossible to tame / Like oil in the ocean, no way to put out the flame.”
Tones And I matches his emotional intensity as she belts out her side of the story: “Had a good bad lovin’ in my heart / And now I need a sequel to the movie that we made.” As choral vocals swell, they soar on the massive chorus: “I only want you when you’re gone, gone gone / Playing like we’re done, done, done / I love your game, drive me insane.”
Blending his signature energy with a more soulful edge, the DJ adds that there was “a little bit of magic in that” as the collaboration with Tones and Teddy came together and he couldn’t be happier as both of them have the “most amazing, soulful voices on the planet right now”.
“Gone Gone Gone” is only the latest monumental moment in a nonstop year for Guetta, who was just crowned The World’s No.1 DJ by DJ Mag — an honor he’s now claimed five times.
“Gone, Gone, Gone” marks the first time that any of these three culture-shifting artists have worked together — a testament to Guetta’s incredible influence, taste, and reputation as one of the greatest hitmakers of our time. Stay tuned for a whole lot more from David Guetta.
