"Wasted" is a song by Dutch musician, DJ and record producer Tiësto. The song features vocals from Matthew Koma who co-wrote the song with Tiësto and Australian production/songwriting duo Twice as Nice. "Wasted" was first released on April 25, 2014 through PM:AM Recordings as the second single from Tiësto's fifth studio album, A Town Called Paradise.[1] It was featured in 22 Jump Street.

Background and release

The song was announced by Tiësto in early April. A lyric video for the track was later uploaded to the artist's YouTube channel on April 13.

British radio station BBC Radio 1 opted to play an alternative version of the song titled "Naked", which replaced every occurrence of the term "wasted" with "naked".

Music video

The song's accompanying music video was released on April 25, 2014. It runs for approximately three minutes and twenty-one seconds and is directed by Tabitha Denholm. The video features six women (Taylor Godfrey, Allegra Carpenter, Kassi Smith...) enjoying themselves. Tiësto and Matthew Koma are seen starring on a TV show called "The Tiësto Show" where Koma is also seen singing the song.
