Watch Craig David Write, Sing Reverse Version Of Taylor Swift’s ‘London Boy’ Called ‘American Girl’
British singer-songwriter Craig David took on the #SongReverseChallenge.
Recently, David took to his social media pages to share how he made his "'American Girl' Meets 'London Boy' Remix" in just five minutes. His creation is a reverse of Taylor Swift's 2019 hit song from her seventh studio album, "Lover."
Swift's song is about a girl from SoCal who falls in love with a Londoner. David's version is about a lad living on another side of the world but falls for a girl from America.
"There was this American girl / But let's be honest / She was outta my league / Lived on the other side of the world / Maybe we'll meet / But I guess we'll see," his lyrics read.
"I'll take her for a cruise / Take her to Madame Tussauds by Waterloo / Or to that coffee shop by my mews / Because there was this American girl / She's way outta my league / But I guess that's the thrill of the chase."
Many netizens on Instagram loved Craig's version of the multi-Grammy-awarded singer's track, so they flooded his post with positive comments.
"Smashed it. Reminds me of how 'Born To Do It' was made," commented a fan.
"@taylorswift needs to invite you on stage when 'The Eras Tour' comes to London!" wrote another.
"Is there anything you can't pull off?" someone else asked.
"Legend. Love this!" gushed a different netizen.
"This is why I love you so much. Music just flows through your blood. Guess what? Strangely enough, I was thinking of booking tickets to the wax works for my grandchildren today," another netizen quipped.
"CD and Taylor Swift... now that collab would be off the hook," opined a sixth IG user.
"Sounds good! Think we need to get a release?" another commenter remarked.
"Haha! Another banger! You keep delivering, bro!" someone else commented.
"This man and his voice are a work of art themselves," claimed a different netizen.
Other comments said David was a "pure genius," "amazing" and "on another level."
The 42-year-old singer's most-streamed song on Spotify is "7 Days" from his 2000 album, "Born to Do It."
He recently released his singles "Abracadabra" and "Abracadabra Pt. 2."
Like Swift, David also has a concert tour. He will hold his "7 Days Commitment Tour" in May.
