Somebody That I Used to Know was released by Belgian-Australian artist Gotye in 2011, featuring New Zealand singer Kimbra, and became a global number one built around a sample from Luiz Bonfá. Its distinctive melody made it one of the most remixed and parodied songs of the 2010s. Funk remixes later revived it on TikTok and YouTube, leaning into Brazilian funk and disco edits that repackage nostalgic pop hits as short dance clips. This version fits that trend, keeping the famous hook recognisable while making it usable for modern edits.

Funk remix of Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know, turning the breakup hit into an upbeat groove used for dance edits, transitions and meme videos.
This is a funk remix of Somebody That I Used to Know, the 2011 hit by Gotye featuring Kimbra. The melancholic xylophone melody and breakup lyrics are reworked over a bouncy bassline, tight drums and rhythmic guitar chops that give the familiar chorus a dancefloor energy. It keeps the instantly recognisable vocal hook but changes the mood completely, from wistful and bitter to playful and groovy. Listeners feel the contrast between the sad original words and the upbeat backing, which makes the drop satisfying and a little ironic every time the chorus returns.
