An updated version of Jay Sean's 'Ride It' has been released by Kosovan producer Regard. The track has racked up half a million YT views and 3 million Spotify streams in the past 2 weeks since its release. It seems to be another TikTok song and it's not a half bad remake to be fair.

Doing well on iTunes it seems. Hope it keeps going!

TikTok can go die but this is sounding rather good, wouldn't mind it being a hit.

Posted by: lewistgreen 16th August 2019, 10:02 PM

Debuts at #21 today in the dance chart which is a great start

Posted by: BridgeCow 16th August 2019, 10:05 PM

this is a bit of a tune can't lie

Posted by: danG 18th August 2019, 03:12 PM

This has now entered the UK Spotify chart so I think it's on its way to becoming a hit!

Posted by: Bré 23rd August 2019, 11:59 PM

Oh this is actually pretty good! I was totally expecting this to be a Joel Corry esque basic house thing but the production actually sounds nice on this. Probably better than the original song lol ~

Climbed from #69 to #45 this week so Top 40 has got to happen on Friday!

Posted by: lewistgreen 6th September 2019, 06:43 AM

Added to Radio 1’s playlist today

Posted by: Jason 6th September 2019, 04:54 PM

So happy this unique dance song has debuted in the top 40 at #25.

This is rather good. I actually thought it was by Disciples or Meduza when I first heard it on the radio, its a similar style of dance to them.

The drop reminds me a bit of Shakedown - At Night.

Posted by: Mack. 10th September 2019, 12:41 PM

It's an interesting version that's for sure.

Posted by: dobbo 10th September 2019, 01:14 PM

Yes I hear that too.

I have absolutely no recollection of the original (much like with Sorry) so, not judging it as a sample/cover/whatever this is pretty decent

Posted by: Bjork 11th September 2019, 08:34 AM

this has grown on me and really like it now, #2 on iTunes at the moment, which is pretty surprising

little questions, does this use the original vocals? so it's a sorta remix/reworked version? or is it a cover with new vocals? wouldn't call it a sample as it's the whole song...

Posted by: lewistgreen 13th September 2019, 06:27 PM

New peak of #15 today!

Posted by: Jason 14th September 2019, 02:11 PM

It just needs to climb more on Spotify, #29 isn't that great.

Posted by: Mack. 16th September 2019, 01:43 PM

Set to continue to climb, up to a peak of #11 in the First Look Chart.

Posted by: photografdemon 20th September 2019, 08:17 AM

As far as I'm concerned, it definitely uses the original vocals, just pitched down - I can even hear the original breath.
I would call it a cover tho.

Just for the record, now it is holding the #1 spot in iTunes for about 3 days.

Posted by: danG 20th September 2019, 09:35 AM

It was originally credited as 'Jay Sean - Ride It (Regard Remix)' when it was put on YouTube as a bootleg (I've found a video from as early as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxHly5cFalo) and it seems to be the same version except it's a bit longer, so I think it's more of a remix (cover would imply someone else is singing it).

Posted by: hlavkus 20th September 2019, 03:37 PM

The voice is probably pitched down so it can still count as a cover so they don't have to ask the original artist for a permisson? A lot of 2013-16 house hits did this

Posted by: lewistgreen 20th September 2019, 05:20 PM

#11 today, it’s so close *.*

Posted by: Jason 22nd September 2019, 05:55 PM

Number 2 on First Look Chart Show. This is much better than I was expecting, but totally deserved imo.

Posted by: Mack. 24th September 2019, 03:17 PM

It can't surely stay at #2 til Friday can it?

This version is quite good:

Posted by: Bjork 24th September 2019, 03:44 PM

I agree it's a Remix
sure not a cover cos no one new is singing it
and its not a sample either...

EDIT: just read the occ article on this and also calls it a Remix

Posted by: dobbo 24th September 2019, 04:16 PM

Is it just me or does this sound very similar to Akon's Smack That in the chorus?

Posted by: Jack 24th September 2019, 05:25 PM

This is absolute trash, so of course it's doing well!

Posted by: Mack. 26th September 2019, 12:35 AM

No, not just you dobbo. It does sound similar to 'Smack That' in the chorus.

Posted by: lewistgreen 27th September 2019, 05:00 PM

Just got to #5!

He's just been interviewed on Radio 1 (with a translator) and apparently Jay Sean is a big fan of this version (maybe not so he's been outpeaked haha). Apparently 4 million TikTok videos have been made using the song which is impressive. I still have no interest in the app though lmao.

Video is out! New peak of #2 last week was fantastic to see!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 7th October 2019, 09:08 PM

eh, average just like the song itself.

Why can't Era take off instead!!!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 8th October 2019, 08:08 AM

I dunno, I enjoy this to a point but it is so... pedestrian.

Jonas Blue Remix

Posted by: jszmiles 12th November 2019, 09:57 PM

really fine remix!

Posted by: lewistgreen 12th November 2019, 10:05 PM

OH MY that is stunning

Posted by: lewistgreen 14th November 2019, 07:27 PM

Acoustic version featuring actual Jay Sean is out tomorrow

Posted by: lewis🎄green 12th December 2019, 06:10 PM

I might be going completely mad here but I feel like the vocal production has been tweaked ever so slightly on this on the streaming sites?

Posted by: dancember 12th December 2019, 06:14 PM

I had the same feeling, I preferred it the way it was.

Posted by: lewis🎄green 13th December 2019, 02:48 PM

Ngl I think I prefer it now

Posted by: awardinary 30th December 2019, 05:19 PM

Regard actually featuring Jay Sean on his Top Of The Pops NYE Special right now!

Has to be one of the best dance songs of 2019 for sure.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 27th January 2020, 04:45 PM

OMG how did I just find out now that this guy is actually from my town Ferizaj, Kosovo and legit 2 blocks away from where I grown up as well lol

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 27th January 2020, 05:19 PM

Really grew to hate this with every passing listen.

Posted by: Bjork 27th January 2020, 05:40 PM

same, didn't mind it at first but now I kinda hate it

Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd March 2020, 06:04 PM

James Hype has done a remix that’s available as a free download

Posted by: lewistgreen 17th April 2020, 08:55 AM

Some more remixes available. That Dimitri Vegas/Like Mike/Quintino one is a big room smasher!

Posted by: HospitalWard* 17th April 2020, 10:03 AM

Can we have a new single please Regard.
