Bebe Rexha & David Guetta – "Sad Girls": The Chart-Topping Formula Strikes Again

When Bebe Rexha and David Guetta team up, lightning doesn't just strike twice—it becomes a permanent fixture on the global charts. Following their Diamond-certified, multi-Grammy-nominated run with "I'm Good (Blue)," the duo returns with "Sad Girls," a monster pop/dance record that is already dominating the summer landscape.

Released fresh off the heels of Rexha’s historic milestone—claiming her first #1 on the U.S. Dance Radio chart as an independent artist and securing the #1 spot on the US Billboard Dance Album chart with Dirty Blonde—"Sad Girls" proves that her creative freedom is paying off massively.



First teased last summer, "Sad Girls" plays perfectly into the bittersweet euphoria that Guetta and Rexha craft so well. It pairs introspective, melancholic lyricism with a high-octane, mainstage-ready production. Guetta’s signature soaring synths and driving basslines provide the perfect canvas for Rexha’s powerhouse vocals, delivering an infectious hook that is engineered for both late-night crying on the dancefloor and peak-time festival sets.



The numbers speak for themselves. Since dropping, "Sad Girls" has already rocketed past 20 million streams across platforms. The track is currently enjoying a massive global push:


Spotify Power: Featured on 48 New Music Friday playlists globally (including the US, UK, and Brazil) and charting on the Daily Top 50 in Germany, Switzerland, and Norway.


Editorial Reach: Boasting a staggering 35.9 million reach across major editorial playlists like Dance Party, Mint, and Pop Rising, alongside heavy backing from Apple Music (21 editorial playlists including Today's Hits) and Amazon Music.


Shazam Buzz: Already climbing the Shazam charts in the UK, France, Italy, Ireland, and beyond, proving that listeners are scrambling to identify it live.


This track was built for the stage, and the duo is leaving no stone unturned on the live circuit. "Sad Girls" has already received massive looks at Ushuaïa Ibiza, London's Capital Summertime Ball, and a massive performance at the Stade de France.


With Guetta currently rinsing the track at Ibiza's hottest new venue, UNVRS, a high-profile TV look on Love Island, a fresh PAPER Magazine cover story for Bebe, and a confirmed slot at Tomorrowland, "Sad Girls" isn't just a single—it's the definitive sound of the season.
