(align) Bebe Rexha unleashes "Cike Cike," a bass-driven house anthem whose title translates to "hey girl, hey girl" in Albanian. The track serves as an ode to her Albanian roots while pulsing club beats pair with bilingual Albanian-English lyrics, capturing the chaos and euphoria of a girls' night out. Rooted in her heritage and wired for peak-hour energy, "Cike Cike" delivers the kind of euphoric drop and addictive hook that have made Rexha a mainstay in global dance music.
Raised by Albanian parents in New York, Rexha felt including a nod to her heritage was a must in the new body of work, DIRTY BLONDE, which is all about fully embracing her truth. The full album will be released June 12.
"My culture is incredibly important to me. When DJ Snake sent over this beat with that incredible 808 bassline, the second I heard it, it made me want to dance. I knew I wanted to weave something from my heritage into the track, and I immediately thought of this Albanian phrase, 'Cike Cike,' which roughly translates to 'hey girl, hey girl.' It felt like the perfect way to pay homage to my roots while creating a powerful fusion of the EDM sound I love." - Bebe Rexha
