The year 2024 will still have been very busy for David Guetta between numerous concerts and a new hit added to his collection: “I Don’t Wanna Wait”. Sampled on the famous “Dragostea Din Tei” by O-Zone, the duet title with OneRepublic has become a real success (460 million streams), even if some media have designated it as one of the worst songs of 2024. Not enough to shake David Guetta, for whom 2025 is “ a year of challenge ». « Throughout my career, there are musical cycles. I’m thinking of starting a new cycle. Since “I’m Good (Blue)”, I’ve used a lot of samples. There, I’m working to come back with great music, like in the days of “Titanium” or “She Wolf”. Original music based more on composition and less on production » attests to Fun Radio the French superstar DJ who, if he no longer wants to release albums, will certainly continue to release singles but also concerts. As proof, he will headline the Lollapalooza Paris festival and he will also perform at the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille on June 21.

“It’s on my computer”
However, David Guetta isn’t completely done with covers, remixes or samples. At the microphone of Fun Radiowhile the hosts suggested the names of songs that he could revisit in his own way, the hitmaker announced that he already has in stock a title largely inspired by “Désenchantée”, the anthem of Mylène Farmer : « I recorded this idea “. Better yet, David Guetta said he recorded it with “ a great artist » ! Did he use an international name after Sia, Shakira or Nicki Minaj ? Mystery, but it explains the contours of this still unpublished title: “ I didn’t release it but, in any case, I made a title very, very inspired by it, with a feel close to an interpolation. It’s not exactly the same melody, but it’s close… Besides, I went [fouiller] throughout Mylène Farmer’s catalog, and even at the level of words, there are some super current texts. But I made this title, it’s in my computer ».
As a reminder, David Guetta had already offered a rereading of “Sans counterfeit” to popstar Kim Petras, who ultimately refused the opportunity. In any case, it wouldn’t be the first time that an electro artist has re-appropriated “Désenchantée”. Over the years, the classic of Mylène Farmer was remixed by Thunderpuss, Oliver Heldens but also Feder and Arnaud Rebotini for the compilation “Remix XL”, released last April and sold more than 36,000 copies. “ I have always liked to offer different versions of my singles and other lesser known titles. It was important for me to give the remixers a lot of freedom by trusting them completely. The only watchword was to respect the song format as much as possible so that these remixes could be listened to as an album in their own right, at any time of the day. » declared the singer, speaking of a project “ arduous but exciting “. Will she have the same opinion for the song David Guetta ? To be continued…
