If you feel like you’ve seen Ella Mai before this track soared into the US charts – you might just have. The singer was a member of the group Arize that took part in The X Factor 2014, though they only made one television appearance before getting kicked off.
After Arize broke up, Mai first started to get noticed as a solo artist when prolific producer DJ Mustard (who has produced for Rihanna, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa - and every other huge R&B or Hip-Hop artist ever) found her after she began posting on Instagram, and signed her to his label.

Her Track ‘Boo’d Up’ has had PHENOMENAL success in the US Billboard charts sittingat no. 7, and successfully competing with the likes of Childish Gambino and Beyonce, despite not actually havingbroken in toUK’s own charts.

This is actually pretty peculiar, especially since she's a UK artist, but it can largely be put down to America having a more outstanding mainstream R&B tradition than the UK, and given the song is nostalgic of that - it's unsurprising it has taken longer to resonate with UK audiences.

But, clearly she’s about to getnoticed everywherenow – because Nicki Minaj and Quavo just jumped on the track to make a brand new official remix, which for Ella Maiis a far cry from her unsuccessful X Factor roots merely4 years ago.

You can listen to the remix right here, below:

The original song has that 90s R&B sound and is an absolute throwback viiiibe.

That said, not everyone thinks Nicki Minaj and Migos member Quavo are suited to featuring on the remix of this track, and twitters been pretty vocal about it…
