"Sexy Bitch" (retitled "Sexy Chick" when censored) is a song recorded by French producer David Guetta. It features Senegalese-American R&B singer Akon and was released digitally on July 24, 2009, worldwide and later on July 28 in the United States.[1] It is the second single from Guetta's fourth studio album One Love. The song uses melody inspired by the previous hit "Tainted Love" made popular by Soft Cell and has become a worldwide hit, reaching the top spot on thirteen different charts so far. Additionally, the song also appears in DJ Hero as part of downloadable content.

Background

After a concert in England in which David Guetta performed his hit single "When Love Takes Over", he was approached by Akon, who expressed interest in collaborating. Though Akon was constrained by a 6am flight the following morning, Guetta convinced him to work through the night on the song at a nearby studio.[2]

Critical reception

"Sexy Bitch" was praised by Entertainment Weekly, which called it "a thumping club jam with R&B star Akon."[3] The song was praised by Michael Menachem of Billboard, saying "Don't be surprised if this track takes over dancefloors as the summer ends."[4] Digitalspy gave it 3/5 stars, criticising the lyrics while admitting that "the beats and big old hook [were] enough to make [the song] bearable."[5]

Music video

The video was directed by Stephen Schuster. The video starts with a plane coming and girls in bikinis are seen tanning and swimming. The camera switches to Akon who wakes up and finds pictures of his date from David Guetta's pool party. He then finds lipstick note on his mirror that reads "find me at pool party" with yet another photo. As the party starts, people enter; a group of teenage boys are not allowed but they employ various methods to get in. The camera switches to Akon again, who is shown singing underwater. The camera flicks to Guetta arriving meeting up with Akon, who then grabs Guetta and they throw each other in the pool. The party continues as Akon pushes more people in, girls dance and Akon with Guetta are shown to be having a water fight. The scene then skips to a club that is called "Fuck Me, I'm Famous" where David Guetta is performing a concert with Tocadisco, and Akon is walking in from the back, where he meets some girls. Akon then arrives and performs "Sexy Bitch" at the concert. A light up man in blue and green appears. Girls are shown dancing and Akon does a crowd surf before the video ends. At the end, Akon is seen sleeping in the bed waking up finding pictures but goes back to sleep.

The video was filmed in Ibiza, Barcelona, Spain, and Swindon, England around July 27, 2009.[6]

An alternate version for a censored version of the song (Sexy Chick) depicts two girls in Akon's bedroom; one is taking Polaroid photos of the other. They even take photos of themselves in Akon's bed while he sleeps. Akon's bed is covered in photos, and as the girls leave, the one most heavily photographed writes in lipstick on the bathroom mirror, "find me at pool party". She attaches another photo and leaves a lipstick impression of her lips on the mirror before she goes to the pool party. Akon then wakes up. The rest of the video is much like the other version, with a few scenes cut or added at the pool party and the club. For example, the underwater singing scene is omitted.
