I love how some producers care about their fans and show them how they made their song omfg thanks

[@TinoPlastic]

YESSSS!!!!

[@fmsjd2]

I think it's really those Aussie guys like these people that love to share everything. What a great country I live in!

[@paulofallone]

u know they're legit when they don't upgrade pro tools/macos for ages and create some mad songs still!

[@davidsansom4132]

This track has been playing in my head for the last few days since I first heard it. I can't give it any higher praise than that, I'm listening to it even when it's not playing 😀 fascinating to hear how it was made

[@adelatieluszecka2146]

Same exact thing here ! Lol it’s playing non stop in my head &it is fascinating to see this indeed!

[@CAHE4KA76]

I cannot sleep in the night because I cannot get it out of my head. It is so exhausting. Please somebody help me!

[@Emmaculate21198]

You’re a very clever guy. What a dreamy groove you’ve created. Thanks for giving us all such lovely ear candy.

[@robertopimentel9910]

Mixing in the Rocketman chorus in this song is one of the most brilliant ideas ever. Just absolute pure bliss. It’s also an brilliant hommage to Elton’s genius.

[@shaunansell7352]

That's so perfect. I was trying to explain to my kids how there are wizards out there who can create magic like this from multiple songs. Its just amazing.

[@barbrat5398]

I listened to Elton and was in love with him since the 70’s…thank you

[@MJ-qg1tk]

I feel privileged watching this

[@wolbi01]

Would be sick if you and Dua collaborated on an album if you haven’t already.

[@Gedacu]

wow man, you're such a good heart for sharing knowledge, most producers ask money for tutorials and never fully share their "secrets". Hats down!!

[@bigbangtop26]

the bass is everything here

[@manolozic]

This remix is one of the best remix I never heard for those lat years, so addictive, sensuel & tasty, it makes the people come together, can't stop to hear it : BRAVO & MERCI 💘

[@carlosamorim6242]

Peter. Congratulations. What you`ve done in ART. PURE ART! Thanks for sharing.

[@DLROWOLL3H]

I can't believe that I only found out about this song at the Elton John concert I recently attended. I can't stop playing it now. Best mash up of songs ever! 🫶🎶

[@Hulkitout]

Mind blown! Genuinely thought they sang the song this whole time. Masterful mixing and thank you for the song and the behind the scenes look at how it was made on this video!

[@janemcelroy6044]

Elton John and Dua Lipa re-recorded the vocals for this new track, I'm pretty sure. I know Dua did, because she wasn't on the originals lol

[@tomascimade3096]

@@janemcelroy6044 no shit sherlock 😂

[@MichaelRoehr]

Is this considered a remix, medley or self interpolation at this point? LOVE IT

[@NO153MUSIC]

I think it's a mash up

[@Exotic69420]

@@NO153MUSIC yep

[@larissabrglum3856]

Mashup is probably the best word. Medley, at least for me, implies snippets of 3+ songs that are played more or less in succession rather than the musical elements alternating or overlapping.

[@Exotic69420]

@@larissabrglum3856 agree :)

[@tom7131]

@@larissabrglum3856 its not a mashup at all. a mashup is smashing two or more already pre made produced songs, this is creating a new song with other elements. so it is actually interpolation, not a mashup at all!

[@aarons5689]

I have been playing this song on repeat for about 5 or 6 days now. Well done P’Nau!!! Love it!!

[@toniscepanovic2938]

Beat and the bass are so contagious, along with great vocals and you got a formula. The song is on repeat for me :)

[@fiorellogalluzzo7282]

Totally and completely blown away with this one. What an amazing and perfect blend of everything without over cooking it. Always been a fan of Pnau, loved Dua's voice from the start and never really been too much into Elton but WOW what a killer combination this is. Not gonna forget this one in a hurry.

[@dboang1906]

It's a shame the vast majority of people don't give PNAU credit, they literally just think it's a new Elton song.

[@TheEltonites]

How everything gells together is remarkable! This is a fine breakdown of the sum of the song's parts. For me, one of the most intriguing elements that adds a refreshing quality to the entire track are the Elton adlibs from "Where's the Shoorah". How about producing a new dance album with all-new Elton/Bernie material (which is the one thing that EJ hasn't done before)? EJ's been heading in this direction for a while now, with stuff like "I'M GONNA LOVE ME AGAIN", "NEVER TOO LATE", "SINE FROM ABOVE", "IT'S A SIN" and now "COLD HEART". Seems to be working for him very well 🎶👏💕🤩‼️

[@fmsjd2]

OMG Wow what you all have done with this song! Amazing production Pete and the rest of you at PNAU, and Elton + Dua for the great vocals. Will always remember this song and it's production from years to come. Fred

[@guinessbeer]

What a great collaboration!! Elton is a legend. Dua lipa is pretty much the only new pop star I like, in fact I like her a lot! And this producer is a bad ass!!

[@frozen_78]

Such a great Remix. It sounds so relaxing early in the morning and makes me want to dance in the evening. Pure genius. Thanks for the video, PNAU!

[@honeytv8193]

PNAU You Made A Masterpiece, It's Playing Directly On Radios In Brazil, Congratulations , You Became An Expiration For Me To Want Make Me A Remix Dj

[@andymc1110]

Mate, this has got to be one of the most legendary remixes of all time. Love it to bits

[@arsentes7411]

Did anyone else like the beat at 0:57, I loved it wished they released different versions

[@haleynic]

same here! i love that part

[@khamanpl]

Best remix ever for the classic song, I love it !!!

[@sherrianberry]

Thank u so much. I just heard cold heart (new version) and I had BIG NOSTALGIA! I heard these songs as a little girl. I looked each of them up. And the one I couldn't figure out was the "OH no-no no- nooo." You cleared it up for me, and for that Sir, I thank you.!

[@carprincess]

I really appreciate this breakdown! It's always really fascinating watching 'how it was made', especially for music since I'm not soo well-versed in it. I wish I could say I have a favorite bit, but I think all of the pieces combined make this such a magnificent song that I keep playing on repeat!

[@enishi_1185]

Thank you for this song!!!! 🙏🏻 Thank you for your mind!

[@pedrokroth8380]

Thank you so much for this breakdown. Crazy to see how right simple things together sound just insane, groovy, majestic, I can't describe. Good job, greetings from Brazil!

[@GangStar_6]

Oh man I’m excited

[@julieannemichelle]

Genius song!!! I’ve liked Elton John since 1972 and he just keeps getting better!!!!

[@danielpham8422]

I love that I hear you guys on the radio here in America, Been listening to you guys since you put out embrace with lady hawke. When I heard Cold Heart I really liked it because i felt like it was my kinda jam ... but on the radio? Lo n behold it was yall!

[@nahfrancee]

You guys are very clever. Congratulations Pete and Nick (and obviously to Sam too, because he makes part of your new style) for the tribute to Elton John and this beautiful production. You guys don't imagine how I'm addicted to this song. Thank you so much! Shout out from Brazil 🇧🇷
