What I take from this is Afrojack couldn't take an hour out of his schedule too finish titanium and Guetta almost had a heart attack.
What an Effed up camel
Hell AfroJack is over now anyways
Stupid party freak
Hahaha love it
But Afrojack is a pretty energetic DJ. his sets are rocking
Im pretty sure everyone has great memories with this song
One of the songs that got me into music production
This song alway remind my highschool era
Not great. AMAZING
My memory of this song is playing it in my set at my college fest and the whole crowd singing along. One of my favourites sets. :)
@@TRNQUL Feeling your vibe bro!
The lesson here is: everything has gone wrong and, yet, it was perfect.
Afrojack was too lazy, SIA didn't wanted to be famous and Guetta didn't knew how to use Windows.
The only one here that achieved what he wanted was Afrojack (go to parties). SIA became that force of nature and world renown artist. Guetta won 2020 best DJ of the world award and is a legend (and still hates windows).
That's a great (original) theme for a novel or film. What happens is meant to be, no matter how we feel about it -- and sometimes, it is fantastic.
that windows part made me laugh
🤣
When a mans biggest enemy is google chrome
😂
The comments sections:
5% Titanium is an iconic track.
5% Afrojack made a mistake.
90% OMG IT'S FIRE AWAY???
0,01% :
Manuel Ferrara has the same voice
I thought it was far away lol
I realized today that it’s fire away 🤣😅🤣
0.000001% he has a team to produce tracks but he takes all the credit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭
He asked Katy Perry to sing on the track with Sia but she refused because she thought it will ruined Sia's performance! What an humble an amazing woman!
Yeah. I liked the song too. My musician friend just made it's remix. Watch the remix on his channel namely 'Chaitanya Pimpalgaonkar'. I'll be happy to get your feedback in the comment section of that remix :)
@@flyingboy2660 tell your 'friend' he needs to work on his mixes
@@flyingboy2660 Shut up.
She couldn't out do Sia and everyone knew it
@@TROLLBUSTER12but she can be selfish and sing it but Katy is one of best person i world
People like to clown this man sometimes but he’s low key the godfather of modern day edm. And he’s a wizard in the studio! Even going back to his earlier days with the “Africanism” french crew. Nothing but love and respect ❤️✊🏾
Yeah, don’t clown this man, he has a dream.
If he is such a god why are almost all of his songs ghost produced?
@@youriberger7961 because he doesn’t have time to finish his tracks because he is always touring around the world and preparing DJ sets
@@Artioproducer Martin GarRix makes his own music and tours more than him so huh?
@@youriberger7961 i reckon that guetta and garrix have co- producers that help them with their tracks.
David Guetta ft Sia = One of the greatest collab artist
Titanium = One of the most iconic Electronic Dance Music song of the world
Afrojack Also Worked For The Track?? I Think 4 - 5 months ago Afrojack Was Live On Instagram And One Of A Fan Asked Him About ‘Titanium’ And He Opened The Project
@@godlxjokerop6790 Co-produced by Afrojack and he has collab with David Guetta in all their tracks, but their popular song is Hey Mama
@@angelvillacaqui95AQP Yess😍😍😍
4 sure 👌
90% Afrojack drop sound
How people are surprised that it's 'Fire Away' is beyond me. The words bulletproof, ricochet and aim are in there, makes more sense than 'Far Away' lol
Not everyone on earth speaks perfect English ;)
same thoughts
right..? I mean wtf :D
The way he story tells it : with passion, sincerity, emotion...
He is a great artist
Yeah. I liked the song too. My musician friend just made it's remix. Watch the remix on his channel namely 'Chaitanya Pimpalgaonkar'. I'll be happy to get your feedback in the comment section of that remix :)
Imagine how many people learned from this video that the lyrics is "Fire away" and not "Far away"
I figured those were the lyrics a long time ago
I will still say , Far Away, Far Away
Including me 😂😂😂
Christian Fischer same
@@danyimedia5727 Come on everybody say,
FAR AWAY, FAR AWAY
Ricochet...😂😂😂
Titanium is very emotional for me because it reminds me of a very bad period in my life when i had an accident with very bad injuries, 11 surgeries and 4-5 months in hospital, then the hard rehabilitation, learning how to walk again etc. I'm a religious person and God has comforted me in so many ways. I believe that He's led me to hear this song at that time to cheer me up and ... oh how it did! David Guetta says it's his most special song. I don't know many of his songs, but I definitely think Titanium is special. Very positive memories out of a very bad situation.
This is definitely one of the best dance tracks ever, it has great lyrics and a great sound. Many other tracks have nonsense lyrics that just fill some empty space, but Titanium is so deep and emotional. I think that's the reason of its success.
definitely true, but none of that has to do with David Guetta.
I love how David Guetta speaks haha
His usage of the word urban...
He sounds like an old French grandpa who is still active
He sounds like some sort of monster in the coolest way, and I like it. 😎👹
He sound like Gru
@@deivyonjackson 😂😂
Would have been nice to hear some of the earlier cuts, see how they developed...
I don't remember the exact circumstances of when I first heard the song but I remember this: Hearing the guitar in the beginning was like a gateway to another universe. Insanely beautiful.
To this day, whenever this song plays at a party, people freak out when they hear it. It's an absolute masterpiece.
Still can't believe that this song didn't win a Grammy 😭😭😭😭
Both David Guetta and Sia are living legends
This was the first time I heard Sia snd she blew my world when I started listening to all her music. Sia is absolutely amazing and will always be one of my fav singer song writers.
I've got all her albums and they are amazing.
2:10
Im still hearing “far away” at this point
Me too bro me too 😂😭😭
Even with lyrics I still am -_-
Which other dance anthems would you like to hear the story of? 🤔
Marshmello - Alone
SHM - Greyhound
Alesso - Years
Tommy Trash, Sebastian Ingrosso - Reload
PLEASE!
Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound!
I would have loved to hear the story of Levels by Avicii 😔
Swedish House Mafia - (Any song)
U never get bored of him talking! David is a gr8 storyteller!
For me the part that makes this song extra special, is that tiny fx in the chorus every 2 bars. Kind of like a “zoom” sound. Sure Sia’s vocal was unbeatable and perfect production but that little piece is what I wait for when it plays. Instant classic.
I think they used "slide notes" on the bass, they're very popular with FL Studio producers
Yeah it’s reverb on the guitar that is being pushed up
Can't tell if this comment is a joke or not. Well played.
David: Learns how to use FL Studio and Windows 10 in a couple on days
Me: 3 years and I can't make a decent song on FL
P.D. please help!!!
Yeah but he's been producing for like 20 years, that's why lmao
@@jujasname that's true xD
My problem too 🤣
@@SergioCaprara xD
Bruh, I'm a FL user for years now, and I haven't made a single decent track lol
I really really love this song! It represents a lot to me. When things are not going well I just remember myself "I AM TITANIUM" nothing is gonna take me down, no matter what.
Too right, and for guys too - a watershed moment 🙏
Fun Fact : The black army guy in the video who's also featuring on the UA-cam's thumbnail is Richardson Zephir, a french-speaking stand up comedian, actor and improvisor from Montréal, Québec. He got called on set only the day before to play an extra in the video to replace someone who couldn't do it anymore. It's a friend of his from the set who suggest its name, so this shot of destiny made him one of the most famous Canadian to feature on a UA-cam thumbnail with more than 1.7G views. More than all Celine Dion videoclips combined!
I was obssesed with this song when I was 22. It`s interesting to know the story behind it. I think Titanium is the best song of David Guetta so far... who is with me?
theres a song which is she wolf, and its a collab between sia and david too. to me, it almost beats titanium but still, titanium still wins!
I Like they both but Most i Like floating through space . I want to See a making of of this
This song got me through a really hard time in my life. 🙏 It was my motivation tune when I wanted to give up on life itself!
Yeah. I liked the song too. My musician friend just made it's remix. Watch the remix on his channel namely 'Chaitanya Pimpalgaonkar'. I'll be happy to get your feedback in the comment section of that remix :)
This song means so much to me. The week I turned 20 I went to Rome with a few people I was stationed in Italy with. I had just gotten there a month prior and everything was fresh and new. This song was hot then and it was playing every night at a bunch of different clubs. Even though I don’t remember it much it was one of the best weekends in my entire life and this song expressed perfectly how I felt then. Hearing it brings back so many memories and feelings man and it’s something I’ll carry with me forever. Thanks for making this 🙏🏼
David Guetta and SIA are putting out amazing things together
That song is a masterpiece! 🙏❤️
Respect for David Guetta, Titanium has saved Sia's career.

dj mag top 100 number 1 dj David Guetta in 2020
How the hell is everyone hearing "far away" instead of "fire away"?
2:07 The 2nd "fire away" is sung in 3 syllables; "far away" is also 3 syllables.
Sia has a loose diction.
shes just a fakin' ossie
One of the beautiful song ever in the entire music industry 🙌
The more I listen to interviews with David Guetta, the more respect I have for him.
Anthem for the decades or even centuries... Best nostalgia I have cause the song gave me
Fun Fact:
The "Other Artist" for whom the song TITANIUM was actually written for (even David Guetta says this) was RIHANNA...
Sia said it was katy perry. in fact there is a demo with Mary J Blige. Its on youtube
Sis also said it was also originally meant for a lot of other artist such as Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Rihanna etc.
Thanks so much 4 the interview, veeeerry interesting!!!
Thanks Mag and David for doing this.. It was not only helpful but an inspiration too :)
Legend!! Thanks a lot for sharing this story!
I remember seeing Sia in a festival a few years before that. We were waiting for The Roots who were on the same stage after her and I knew some of her tracks from club remixes (like I drink to get drunk, maybe buttons). She wasn't hiding her face, she was barefoot, and just unassuming on stage and giving a good performance.
No one else I was with knew her or her music and it seemed like most people there were waiting for The Roots (and Radiohead who closed the festival)
A few years later those same friends were huge fans, like almost everyone else...
After so many years this song is still goes off 🎉
I love to hear this man speaking.
David Guetta's voice sounds like he is going trough a massive hangover
Still hits me with goosebumps
this song is masterpiece in my vision i heared many times ...song lyrics are very powerful .
Amazing interview! Love hearing how David's brain works! Great job DJ Mag!!!
Yeah. I liked the song too. My musician friend just made it's remix. Watch the remix on his channel namely 'Chaitanya Pimpalgaonkar'. I'll be happy to get your feedback in the comment section of that remix :)

That pulsing drop piu piu piu is one of the most unusual sounds I have ever heard. It sounds as if my ear is going overload, going deaf, or like getting electrocuted. This one song is how I got to know Guetta. Awesome!
