It also becomes Guetta’s fourteenth Top 10 single in Australia and his now third successive after “Shot Me Down” (HP-3, peaked mid-March) and “Bad” (HP-5, peaked first week of May), with Australia being the first country to place this new song within the Top 10, plus this is the title track for David’s upcoming album.
