That of course fueled speculation that another remix featuring Bieber could be arriving. Fans welcomed the idea, taking to social media to call for its arrival.
Speaking of remixes, Harlow previously dropped one for “Whats Poppin” back in June. It featured appearances from Lil Wayne, DaBaby, and Tory Lanez, and is currently at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In a statement from when the remix dropped, Harlow called the track “special” and said it exceeded his expectation.
“Getting DaBaby and Tory Lanez on the record is very exciting, especially because they both delivered,” he said. “But Lil Wayne hopping on is a dream come true; a real bucket list achievement. Something I can say was done for the place I’m from – Louisville, Kentucky. This is a moment all of my city and state can be proud of despite these difficult times. Thank you to my fans for making this go so far, because without them I wouldn’t have any of it. To the top we go.”
