"Swing" is the lead single from New Zealand hip hop artist Savage's debut solo album, Moonshine.
[1] In 2008, it was released in the United States with a remix featuring American rapper Soulja Boy, which reached number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The remix, credited as "Joel Fletcher & Savage", reached number two in Australia,[3] and was certified quadruple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association.
[11] Following a label bidding war, Savage signed to Universal Republic Records, and a remix of "Swing" featuring American rapper Soulja Boy was produced; it was serviced to radio, and released as a digital download, in May 2008.
[10][12] A video for the remix was filmed by director Kai "FlyyKai" Crawford in Beverly Hills in July 2008, and released in September 2008.
[22] In 2013, "Swing" was remixed by Australian producer Joel Fletcher, following his breakthrough top 40 hit "Bring It Back" with Will Sparks.
Fletcher said of the production of the remix: "I did Swing in maybe three or four hours before a gig when I was browsing through my iTunes looking for some a cappella to play that night and I came across the Savage track.
[4] It is the highest charting single of both artists in Australia,[3] and has been credited for "[propelling] the relatively unknown sound of Melbourne bounce to a national audience".
[31] A music video for the Joel Fletcher remix was filmed on 17 December 2013,[32][non-primary source needed] and released on 14 January 2014.
