David Guetta returns with monumental new single 'Baby Don't Hurt Me' alongside global superstars Anne-Marie and Coi Leray, out on 7th April.

Back with a bang, 'Baby Don't Hurt Me' is Guetta's hotly anticipated follow-up to Spotify global #1 and streaming monster 'I'm Good (Blue)', which has accumulated 1.4 billion global streams in just seven months.

The track features vocals from British dance icon Anne-Marie, who continues to take the pop world by storm with 7.5 billion global streams to date, seven Top 10 singles and multiple double- and triple-platinum selling records, and Coi Leray, the LA-based rapper known for her raw rhymes, traffic-stopping vocals and inimitable energy.

Coi Leray is best known for her recent smash single 'Players', which has 200 million streams, is currently number #1 at Rhythmic radio in the US, and has just received a remix by David Guetta, which the two performed together in his Ultra Miami set. 'Players (David Guetta Remix)' sees the legendary French DJ amplifying the original with stadium-sized drops ready for the festival season approaching.
