Background

[edit]

In 2013, after Francis confirmed that his debut album will be released the following year, Francis announced a new song in collaboration with DJ Snake. On February 11, Francis had already launched his new song titled "Get Low", in which he confirmed that the song is the lead single of his debut album. On April 22, he confirmed that the title of his debut album is Money Sucks, Friends Rule. On 22 May, Francis released the official video of the song.[3]

On 2 June 2014, Francis released an EP which features 5 remixes of the song: "The Rebirth in Paris" version and remixes by W&W, TrollPhace, Aazar and Neo Fresco. On 7 April 2015, Francis released the remix of the song, featuring hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd.[4]

Lyrics

[edit]

The entire song consists of the following lyrics, "Get low when the whistle blow", while interspersed with some exclamations like "Barbès, Yalla Habibi" (an Arabic phrase translating to "Let's go, my love"), tongue rolling and feminine yelling. The song is an available track on the rhythm game Just Dance 2015 and is featured in the film Furious 7 and its affiliated video game, Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious, which is a standalone expansion of the open-world racing video game Forza Horizon 2. The official remix features additional vocals by Rae Sremmurd and is featured as the theme song of the Robert Duvall film Get Low.

Composition

[edit]

The song features Chigwell style folk music of North Tasmanian suburb origin, including a sample mix of Algerian folk band Orchestre National de Barbès.[5]
