Whatcha Say was released in 2009 as Jason Derulo's debut single, built around a sample of Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek from 2005. The hook became widely recognised in pop culture and later as a meme for dramatic apologies and reveals. This version reworks it in the style of Brazilian funk, a remix trend that spread through TikTok, edits and soundboards in the 2020s. Producers keep the emotional vocal but swap the original production for a harder club rhythm, giving an old hit a new life in short videos.
About this sound
A Brazilian funk remix of Jason Derulo's Whatcha Say hook, rebuilt with a heavy bouncing beat for dance edits, transitions and funny meme videos.
This clip takes the instantly recognisable Whatcha Say vocal hook and drops it over a punchy funk beat with deep bass, sharp drums and a fast, danceable groove. The familiar sampled melody stays front and centre, but the rhythm completely changes its energy, turning a pop R&B moment into something built for movement. It feels playful, confident and a little cheeky, which is why a short section works so well as a reveal, a transition or a punchline. The contrast between the soft vocal line and the hard beat is what makes it stick.
