Earlier this year, news of a collaboration between Major Lazer and Justin Bieber titled ‘Cold Water’ began circulating online – generating plenty of excitement given the addictive nature of ‘Where Are Ü Now‘ under the Jack Ü banner.
Now, that collaboration has leaked on a Chinese radio station with the full line-up of Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and the former’s highly-successful ‘Lean On’ collaborator MØ. Many are speculating that this isn’t the finished product, but that hasn’t stopped the radio rip from spreading like wildfire throughout the Internet. Featuring acoustic strums and subdued horns over some signature Carribbean percussion, Bieber laces two verses with his heartfelt crooning before MØ jumps in briefly.
It certainly doesn’t have the banger appeal of ‘Where Are Ü Now’, but we can see this being played a lot of commercial radio – and the fact that it bears some likeness to ‘Lean On’ means that this has smash hit written all over it.
Listen to ‘Cold Water’ below, while we’re hoping for a studio quality track top drop soon:
