Kygo releases remake of Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson’s ‘Say Say Say’

Song was No. 1 hit for McCartney & Jackson in 1983

Global superstar, producer, and DJ Kygo releases his official remake of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson’s legendary No. 1 hit song “Say Say Say.” Out now via RCA Records, the remake adds a dance-driven twist to the 1983 classic from McCartney’s Pipes of Peace, infusing the song with house-influenced production that plays off McCartney and Jackson’s iconic vocals.

“I’m absolutely honored to work on a song that was made by two of the greatest musical legends of all time,” Kygo says. “Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson have meant so much to me as an artist and I’ve been listening to their music since I was a kid. It’s been a dream of mine to collaborate alongside these iconic artists and hope everyone enjoys the song as much as I do.”

This marks Kygo’s first taste of new music in 2023, and follows the release of his fourth studio album, Thrill Of The Chase, this past fall. Featuring collaborations with X Ambassadors, DNCE, Lukas Graham, Sam Feldt, Plested, Dean Lewis, and more, Thrill Of The Chase traced Kygo’s career over the past few years since the release of 2020’s Golden Hour, showcasing his signature lush, piano-driven production while highlighting his penchant for genre experimentation.

Kygo will play his biggest UK headline show to date on August 12th at London Gunnersbury Park. Recently coming off headlining performances at Life Is Beautiful, Lollapalooza, BottleRock, and sold out shows at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo and New York City’s Madison Square Garden, most recently, Kygo brought his signature Palm Tree Music Festival to worldwide stops in Aspen, Indonesia, and Australia.
