Shot Me Down is a 2014 single by French DJ David Guetta featuring American singer Skylar Grey. It reworks Nancy Sinatra's 1966 song Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down), keeping its mournful melody while rebuilding it as a modern dance track. The song reached a wide audience through radio and streaming, and short clips of its vocal and drop later spread through edits, compilations and social videos. Its blend of a familiar old hook and contemporary electronic production keeps it recognisable even in a brief excerpt.

David Guetta's Shot Me Down clip, featuring Skylar Grey on the classic Bang Bang hook. It suits dramatic reveals, slow-motion edits and punchy meme moments.
This 17-second clip captures the dramatic heart of David Guetta's Shot Me Down, where Skylar Grey's haunting vocal floats over the familiar Bang Bang melody before the production swells into a polished electronic drop. The vocal is clear and emotional, almost cinematic, while the beat underneath adds tension and release, making the moment feel larger than life. Played on its own, it instantly signals a twist, a defeat or a stylish reveal, and its mix of nostalgia and modern dance energy is why it works so well as a short, punchy accent in videos.
