Akon is teaming up with multi-platinum superstar DJ and producer David Guetta and rising talent Hypaton, to deliver a fresh spin on his latest chart-topping single. “Akon’s Beautiful Day (David Guetta & Hypaton Remix)” drops December 13th via Konvict Kulture, with its global premiere set to ignite Soundstorm. This electrifying remix amplifies the song’s powerful message of resilience, hope, and finding light in life’s darkest moments—an anthem Akon calls “The Anthem the World Needs Right Now.” Blending Akon’s soulful vocals, Guetta’s iconic beats, & Hypaton’s modern edge, this collaboration bridges generations, delivering a timeless, dancefloor-ready track primed for charts and playlists worldwide. The original boasts global viral success, amassing over 2.3 million user-generated creatives and 1.4 billion views on TikTok.
“David has always been a master at creating music that uplifts and unites people, so bringing him on for this remix was a no-brainer,” shares Akon. “He was the perfect choice to bring fresh energy to ‘Akon’s Beautiful Day’ – and with Hypaton in the mix they elevate its message to a whole new level.”
The original has already broken records as the only independent release to debut as the No. 1 most-added song on U.S. rhythmic radio in 2024. Climbing charts rapidly, it hit No. 8 on Mediabase’s Rhythmic Airplay, No. 19 on the Weekly Mediabase Pop Airplay chart, and No. 20 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay, with a 244% streaming surge fueled by major stations. The official music video has surpassed 14.7 million views and counting, and appeared on major billboards and MTV Live, cementing its global impact.
Akon continues to inspire with his latest single, “Akon’s Beautiful Day.” The track reimagines a viral moment from ten-year-old Jamaican student Rushawn Ewears, whose heartfelt school performance resonated worldwide. Blending Akon’s smooth vocals with a children’s choir, the acoustic-driven anthem builds to an uplifting chorus, delivering a powerful message of resilience, hope, and finding beauty in life’s challenges. Crafted alongside Jkash, JR Rotem, and Phillip Phever, the song is a celebration of light and connection.
