The existence of the remix of the original “Girls Like You” was initially confirmed in a tweet by the band:

Leaving the original vocals & production intact, Cardi adds a Bronx-flavored verse to the pop record, rapping about having danced for dollars & being the life of the party among other things.

The remix also gained its own music video featuring several idolized women across an array of fields.

In September 2018, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Cardi’s third #1 single, and Maroon5’s fourth. The song dethroned the uber-popular “In My Feelings”, by Drake, which led the pack for ten weeks.

On February 11, 2019, “Girls Like You” logged its 33rd week in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the sixth single in the chart’s history to stay in the top 10 for that long. The song currently matches Ed Sheeran’s 33-week run of “Shape of You” in the top 10.
