I Don't Wanna Wait was released in 2024 as a collaboration between French DJ David Guetta and American band OneRepublic, blending Guetta's festival-ready electronic production with OneRepublic's pop songwriting. The track quickly found a second life beyond radio, appearing in short-form videos, travel and workout montages, and party edits where its short chorus hook could carry a whole moment. Because the hook is instantly recognisable and emotionally upbeat, creators keep returning to it for climaxes, reveals and celebratory endings.
About this sound
The chorus hook from David Guetta and OneRepublic's I Don't Wanna Wait, a short dance-pop clip used in edits, montages and party videos for an upbeat lift.
This short clip captures the soaring chorus of I Don't Wanna Wait, the dance-pop collaboration between David Guetta and OneRepublic. Built around Ryan Tedder's emotive vocal over bright, driving synths and a pulsing four-on-the-floor beat, it rises quickly to a catchy, singalong hook that feels both euphoric and wistful. At just a few seconds long, it works as an instant emotional peak, giving a video a sense of urgency and release without needing the full song. Listeners recognise it immediately from radio and festival sets, which makes it feel familiar, energetic and ready for a big moment.
