The Dutch-Moroccan multi-platinum producer R3HAB has become well-known for infusing electronic music into modern trends and never hesitating to push the boundaries of his sound, and his new single “Believe (Shooting Stars)” is his newest Exhibit A.
He teamed up with social media sensations Mufasa & Hypeman, who skyrocketed to fame after the release of Mufasa’s viral hit “Friday,” which has generated over 1B streams on Spotify alone, and singer RANI, who took the world stage by collaborating with global stars like David Guetta, Martin Jensen, and Jonas Blue, for their hopeful rendition of Bag Raiders’ “Shooting Stars.” The new version is so much more than merely a catchy song to make memes to, though; R3HAB adds his signature touch with a euphonious, undulating bassline, while Mufasa & Hypeman bring their iconic positive MC abilities and RANI’s vocals offer a soulful, uplifting touch to the track. “Believe (Shooting Stars)” follows R3HAB’s recent releases “Are You Happy Now” with Curley G and Crazy Donkey and “All Night” with Sophie and the Giants.
“Life requires hope, a candle in the midst of a storm. This song is a reminder to keep believing. When Mufasa sent the idea to me, I knew it had massive potential, not only because of his iconic viral video, but actually the positive vibes it spreads. RANI joined the record with vocals which were the perfect fit for the message we wanted to share around the world. We hope you love it and feel inspired to keep dreaming big.” – R3HAB
“During a time when the world needed unity more than ever, our viral video dancing to “Shooting Stars” brought people together in a way we never expected. To see it re-emerge in the past months was wonderful, and sharing this new song alongside two talented artists, R3HAB and RANI, are nothing short of incredible. This is truly a full circle moment that we’ll be forever grateful for.” – Mufasa & Hypeman
“I’m beyond excited to be part of this amazing track with R3HAB and Mufasa & Hypeman! The moment I heard it, especially with the iconic ‘Shooting Stars’ sample by Bag Raiders, I was hooked. The energy and emotion in the song spoke to me right away. It’s all about believing in something bigger, just like wishing on a shooting star. The blend of that nostalgic sample with this new fresh sound creates something truly special, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!” – RANI
