Jack U's ‘Where Are U Now' featuring Justin Bieber was an instant success in the dance community, even turning Bieber haters into fans. Diplo was first reported boasting in an interview about how he nailed a track with someone who wasn't too widely liked, ‘He’s another artist who everyone wants to fail. For me, there’s nothing more middle-finger-in-your-face than to do a really cool record with him. That’s punk, in my opinion'. However, the story behind the collaboration may be different than what you think.
The track was originally co-produced by Jason ‘Poo Bear' Boyd. The track was originally intended for his album, but he didn't have an production on it. Diplo and Skrillex then heard the track and transformed it into ‘something different'.
The Jack U version of ‘Where Are U Now' went gold last week. Check out the more chilled out, ballad version of the original track below.
