Bag Raiders’ “Shooting Stars” was already a certified dance classic before the internet got its hands on it – a euphoric slice of electronic perfection that proved some tracks are simply timeless. Now Dutch-Moroccan producer R3HAB, whose own streaming numbers clock in at a staggering 11 billion, has given this beloved anthem a 2024 renaissance, powered by Mufasa & Hypeman’s magnetic energy and RANI’s soaring vocals.
While the original found new life through viral fame, R3HAB’s take reminds us why the track captured imaginations in the first place. His signature production – the same touch that’s earned him collabs with Rihanna and Taylor Swift – amplifies the original’s dreamy synths and infectious groove. Mufasa & Hypeman, fresh off their own billion-stream success, inject pure joy into the mix, while RANI (whose vocals have graced tracks by David Guetta and Jonas Blue) adds a soulful dimension that feels both fresh and faithful.
Released through R3HAB’s CYB3RPVNK label, this isn’t just a remix – it’s a celebration of dance music’s ability to evolve while keeping its heart intact. “Believe (Shooting Stars)” proves that great tracks never really die; they just wait for the right moment to soar again.
