base talk Have you ever heard this song or am I just crazy? (Mandela effect maybe?)

[Beyonnaise]

This song from 2016 randomly popped into my head and I assumed it was a sizable hit that everyone knows. Turns out it only has 7M plays  I literally think I've heard it a hundred times? Like I'm racking my brain because I don't remember seeking it out to listen to before now, I could have sworn it was in a huge commercial or something and was widely known. The "La da bo dee da bo dee da bo di" hook in particular feels so memorable. Most of the YouTube comments point out it being featured in FIFA but I've never played FIFA.

 

Am I insane?

Never heard that song

Never heard the song but the hook melody does sound familiar. Are we sure it doesn't sample anything? 

[Infatuation_Junkie]

Probably ava max sampled them

[The7thStranger]

I wonder if it got put on a corporate playlist you were exposed to.

[Raphy23]

Sounds like a songs Ava Max sampled.

 

But also each country has local hits, and local radio hits from small artists in their country. It is very possible that this played a lot in radio where you live, or was even a popular hit but is unknown in other areas.
