Thought you’d finally managed to get the unbelievably catchy chorus of I.Y.A.Z.’ smash-hit debut single out of your head? Well, I’ve got some bad news: now that the official remix has dropped, you can expect to hear that melody on Replay for a few more months… or years. You know it’s gonna happen, so why even try to fight it? This time around the cut is even more infectious, thanks in large part to the guest services of a certain club-hop heavyweight. That’s right – Flo Rida steps up to the mic to spit a characteristically ear-catching opening verse over J.R. Rotem‘s sugary synths, offering to play a sexy shorty’s body like a piano. I know I’m going to be humming that “Na na na, na na na” chorus for weeks to come, but I’ll let readers have the final say on how this remix stacks up against the original. I.Y.A.Z.’ yet-untitled debut studio album is set to hit stores and online retailers sometime in the first quarter of 2010. In the meantime, fans should be sure to check out the Virgin Islands-bred singer’s recent, Booth-exclusive interview with our own DJ Z.

Just went to #1 at Billboard. The addition of Flo Rida only adds extra appeal. You can't hate on something that is already mad successful and undeniably catchy.

My friend and I were talking about a remix to this, and Florida was our number one candidate. He was perfect for this track. "Undeniably catchy" is the truth.

I thought Flo Rida was a good fit here, but the rest was the same as the original, which is what drives me crazy. IYAZ is talented, why can't he be more creative? Switch it up a little bit. It's a REMIX!

Original = 4.5
Remix = 4 I'm with GStan, when I see Remix I get all excited, and when that means 16 bars upfront and nothing else changes, I get disappointed. Just saying. |

This has never been my favorite track, but you can't deny the high dose of entertainment value on here. Flo-Rida was an obvious choice, but sometimes obvious is right.
But he failed to murk this, and unlike his contribution on Birdman's "Written On Her (Remix)", delivers entirely forgettable rhymes. So, as far as 'same beat' Remixes go, this ain't worth checking out. |

Flo-Rida's verse suited the production a lot better then I thought it would. Its a small upgrade to a already great track.

Club banger for sure. Flo-Rida did a great job on this remix. I would have loved to hear him spit another verse so this could really qualify as a remix. I liked the original so this is just as good and still rotates.
