Bebe Rexha References Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown On New Lil Wayne Collab

Bebe Rexha has a collaboration with Lil Wayne lined up for part two of her All Your Fault EP collection and folks heard a brief teaser of the forthcoming track, which is called "Dance With Somebody," during the singer's recent Instagram Live session.

Originally titled "The Way I Are," the mid-tempo collab hears Bebe sending love to the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, with cheeky references to the famed couple and the pop powerhouse's signature 1987's hit, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)." After teasing the cut, the 27-year-old star explained that the track is about "being like, 'I don't care who the f**k you are, just love me for who I am. I want to love you for the way you are and let's just dance. Let's enjoy life.'" 

Rexha also revealed that they're "shooting the craziest video" for the song, with the full version of the number reportedly dropping later in April.

Apparently, "Dance With Somebody" also has a deeper meaning to the pop star, considering she refers to the track as a big kiss-off to a record label. "When you're developing as an artist you have to kinda fight the stereotype of what everybody’s expecting of you, what way you should be, how you should look, what color your hair should be, how your make up should be and what you should wear," she reportedly said of the cut. "But the most important thing is if you like you and if you like the way you look."
