Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, avid enthusiasts of the original track, embarked on a creative journey to reimagine Dido's 'Thank You' as a bootleg for their Ushuaïa Ibiza shows.
Teaming up with W&W, they infused the distinct sound of their legendary collaboration ‘Arcade’ to reinvent the iconic melody into an alternative sounding stadium chant. The response from global audiences was immediate and fervent, with crowds worldwide roaring the iconic melody from the very first play.
Enter Tiësto, recognizing the potential and offering his expertise to elevate the composition into the festival anthem it is today. Initially, it was considered as a cover, as no one in their wildest dreams imagined Dido herself would jump on board. The project took an unexpected turn when live clips of the record went viral on social media and Dido gave her blessing for her iconic vocal delivery to be used on the track. It's one of those rare tracks that grabs every crowd and transcends genres, getting support from techno, trance, bigroom, hardstyle to even tech house and house DJs alike. From the grand mainstages with DJs like David Guetta, Diplo, Steve Aoki, Armin van Buuren, to the underground sets of Vintage Culture and Gordo and many more, all have embraced and endorsed this exceptional record. With thousands of fans across the globe already incorporating the live recording of the track into their Instagram and TikTok videos, its influence has reached even wider horizons. Notably, sports events such as the Champions League and WWE have seamlessly integrated snippets of the track into their social media clips. Every now and then, a record emerges as the result of a perfect storm – undeniably, this is one of those unique moments.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The track is a megasmash and it sounds like the very first number 1 for the team in the UK Top 40 and it deserves it big time. Of course it's is based on an exceptional original with a melody that uplifts the spirits and make everybody dance like there is no tomorrow. Let's hope more remixes will emerge and the track will reach the highest skies that it really deserves. Dedicated to my Greek brothers Dimitri & Mike. #SasAgapo #PureGold Love IT[/content]
