Growing up, you couldn’t play Bon Jovi
The chart-topping star makes a strong case for Livin’ on a Prayer and opts for TLC at karaoke. But which song reminds her too much of her ex to listen to?
TL;DR
- Bebe Rexha's first musical obsession was 'Part of Your World' from The Little Mermaid.
- Her first purchased single was Christina Aguilera's 'What a Girl Wants,' and her first CD was Lady Gaga's 'Just Dance.'
- She knows every lyric to Fugees' 'Ready Or Not' and enjoys singing Etta James' 'At Last' or TLC's 'No Scrubs' at karaoke.
- Rexha considers her own song 'New Religion' the best party song and humorously states her dog Bear's bark gets her up in the morning.
- She finds the sample clearance for Faithless' 'Insomnia' in her song 'New Religion' a significant moment, appreciating the warmth of older recordings.
- She can no longer listen to Shaed's 'Trampoline' due to its association with an ex-partner.
- Despite growing up being told not to play it, she now loves Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer' and believes it's a perfect song.
- Adele's 'Easy on Me' is a song that currently makes her cry due to its raw emotional impact.
