Jonas Blue’s take on Tracy Chapman’s ‘Fast Car’ was HUGE. We’re talking platinum status. Now following the success of all of his follow up singles, ‘Perfect Strangers’, ‘By Your Side’ and current hit ‘Mama’, it seems like Jonas has been itching to get another cover out there.

WATCH OUR MTV NEWS SPECIAL FROM ISLE OF MTV 2017:

A massive moment in his DJ sets of late, the DJ/producer told MTV News’ Tinea Taylor ahead of his live set at Isle Of MTV in Malta, that he’s planning on releasing his remix of Cutting Crew’s ‘(I Just) Died In Your Arms’…

"I’ve got one coming very shortly. It’s kind of different though, it’s more for the clubs. I don’t know whether I should tell you or not! It’s the classic ‘(I Just) Died In Your Arms’ from the 80s and I’ve remixed it into a club banger. It’s been the biggest tune in my sets recently so yeah!"

Isle Of MTV is streaming live TONIGHT from isleofmtv.com and over on the Isle Of MTV Facebook page.

Highlights from Jonas Blue, The Chainsmokers, DNCE and RAYE will be shown on MTV Music later this summer too!

View the lyrics

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working at a convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone

You see, my old man's got a problem
He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say, his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said, somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
