David Guetta Officially Announces 2 Massive Collaborations In The Works
David Guetta just retweeted one of his fan pages on Twitter, confirming some absolutely giant news. The French legend has two massive collaborations in the works with some seriously impressive names.
The first is with both Shakira and Sean Paul. Based on the vocalists we can safely assume that this one will be steeped in Latin flare. The next is with the freaking Black Eyed Peas. The group consisting of Fergie, the EDM song stealing extraordinaire Will.I.Am and the other guy is teaming up with Guetta for what will no doubt be a high energy dance floor ballad.
All jokes aside both of these collaborations have some real potential. David Guetta has worked with the Black Eyed Peas before and the outcome was an instant hit. Stayed tuned for more News on when these tracks might be dropping.

Both Collaborations Actually Came Together, Just Not As Expected
Neither project stayed exactly as originally teased, but both did land eventually. Sean Paul’s collaboration with Guetta became “Mad Love,” which also brought in Becky G and ended up as a genuine radio hit blending dancehall with big-room pop. Meanwhile, the Black Eyed Peas project turned into “Don’t You Worry,” and Shakira ended up featuring on that track instead of a separate Sean Paul pairing, giving fans a three-way collaboration between Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, and Guetta rather than two entirely separate singles.
Guetta’s Track Record Of Delivering On Big Collabs
This kind of shuffle between initially teased pairings and final release lineups wasn’t unusual for Guetta, whose collaborations often evolved in the studio as tracks came together. What stayed consistent was his ability to actually deliver on the hype, both “Mad Love” and “Don’t You Worry” found real chart success, proving that even when the teased pairings shifted around behind the scenes, Guetta’s instinct for pairing the right vocalists together rarely missed.
A Reunion Worth The Wait
The Black Eyed Peas reunion with Guetta carried extra weight given their history together, their earlier collaborations had already produced massive hits, so expectations were sky-high the moment this teaser dropped. “Don’t You Worry” delivered on that legacy, arriving with the same big, feel-good energy that made their prior work together so inescapable on radio and in clubs, and it reintroduced Black Eyed Peas to a dance music audience that had been waiting years for another Guetta pairing.
