David Guetta returned to the 90s last year with “I’m Good (Blue)” featuring Bebe Rexha, quickly becoming the #1 dance song in multiple territories and already nearing one billion plays on Spotify. (He has 854m at the time of publication.)
A few weekends ago at the Ultra Music Festival, he brought Coi Leray to the main stage to create their new collaboration with Anne-Marie remaking another 90s dance classic, Haddaway’s “What Is Love.” .

A quick look at the replies and quote retweets to the tweet above shows that there isn’t much support for the single. However, it’s hard to deny that the track has an incredibly catchy quality and retains much of the original melody, which many other remakes and covers in this area don’t really try to do. Whether you consider laziness or praise is in the eye of the beholder.
Listen to the full track below and decide for yourself.
