Regard Lyrics

Dardan Aliu (born 23 July 1993), professionally known as Regard and formerly DJ Regard, is a Kosovo-Albanian disc jockey (DJ).

His 2019 single "Ride It" is a remix of Jay Sean's 2008 song, which became a viral sensation on video-sharing app TikTok and has since achieved international success.

The single topped the Spotify Viral chart in the US, and eventually had over a million plays on Spotify. By the end of August 2019, the song had been streamed over 2.4 million times in the US and entered the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart at number 21.

DJ Regard told Headliner Magazine that the 'Ride It' remix came to him when he was drunk: "I was very drunk returning to my apartment from my gig, and I was listening to Jay Sean's song. The rattling in my head from the sound system at my gig made the perfect combination to make the track! The moment I arrived home, I started to form the basic idea for the Ride It remix."

The Head of Music Partnerships at TikTok Europe highlighted Regard's success as a "great example of how TikTok can support artists by providing a platform to promote their songs to a global audience." -Wikipedia
