Kygo has released a reimagined remix of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson’s iconic single ‘Say Say Say’.
The remix takes the 1983 classic from McCartney’s ‘Pipes Of Peace’ and infuses the song with house-influenced production that plays off McCartney and Jackson’s vocals.
I’m absolutely honoured...
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson]
Say, say, say what you want
But don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need
But don't leave me with no direction
All alone, I sit home by the phone
Waitin' for you, baby (Baby)
Through the years, how can you stand to hear
My pleadin' for you, dear?
You know I'm cryin', ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Drop]
[Interlude: Michael Jackson]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson]
Now go, go, go where you want
But don't leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away
So long, girl, I see you never
What can I do, girl, to get through to you?
'Cause I love you, baby (Baby)
Standin' here, baptized in all my tears
Baby, through the years
You know I'm cryin', ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Drop: Michael Jackson]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
All alone, I sit home by the phone
Waitin' for you, baby (Baby)
Through the years, how can you stand to hear
My pleadin' for you, dear?
You know I'm cryin', ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro: Michael Jackson]
(Hee, hee, hee)
Ah, alright, alright, alright
(Hee, hee, hee)

Kygo:
It’s no secret that I love working with iconic vocals from the ’80s, and ‘Say Say Say’ was one that I really wanted to work on. We initially got in touch with Paul McCartney’s team and Michael Jackson’s estate over a year ago to get approval and the stems to start working on an idea.
I start...
