Yesterday we literally made dreams come true as our January Cover Of The Month winner Sam Tompkins, came face-to-face with the very star he covered, Bebe Rexha.

Celebrating the Cover Of The Month competition at YouTube Space London, Sam and a bunch of talented young influencers tried out the facilities for the day and attended sessions led by music industry professionals, including Rexha herself.

Throughout January we challenged musicians around the globe to upload their take on Bebe’s latest single ‘I Got You’, before the singer-songwriter herself picked out the winner.

On hearing he’d won, Sam said: “I'm still trying to get over it … it's crazy. It’s so weird, I had literally no idea. I did it just for fun and then I’ve come out and won - it's really surreal. It's a really surreal experience.”

Bebe also told us why she picked his out of all the entries we received: “I think I love the fact that he made the cover his own and it wasn't just copying me exact and making the exact beat and the exact groove. 

“He changed up the groove and he sang it in his own way and I really appreciate that because I feel like he put his stamp on it.”

Bebe also praised this all of this month’s entrants saying: “They're incredible, they've covered the song and I feel so flattered. I remember starting out and covering songs. I told them that I covered Drake's 'Hold On, We're Going Home' and now I'm here, and they're covering my songs, I'm like, 'Wait, this is awesome!'."

Think you’ve got what it takes to get your face on MTV? February’s Cover Of The Month track is The Chainsmokers’ ‘Paris’, and you can get involved right now over at mtvcoverofthemonth.com.

We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
And I thought: "Wow, if I could take this in a shot right now
I don't think that we could work this out"

Out on the terrace
I don't know if it's fair
But I thought: "How could I let you fall by yourself
While I'm wasted with someone else?"

If we go down, then we go down together
They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down, then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
You look so proud
Standing there with a frown and a cigarette
Posting pictures of yourself on the Internet

Out on the terrace
We breathe in the air of this small town
On our own, cutting class for the thrill of it
Getting drunk on the past we were living in

If we go down, then we go down together
They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down, then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

Let's show them we are, show them we are
Let's show them we are, show them we are
Let's show them we are better

We were staying in Paris
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are, show them we are
Let's show them we are, show them we are
Let's show them we are better

If we go down, then we go down together
They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down, then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

We were staying in Paris (if we go down)
We were staying in Paris (if we go down)
We were staying in Paris (if we go down)
We were staying in Paris (if we go down)
Let's show them we are better

We were staying in Paris
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better

Let's show them we are better
