Background

Laxed (Siren Beat)

Jawsh 685 had originally posted the instrumental, titled "Laxed (Siren Beat)", to YouTube in 2019.[3] The original song was made to pay homage to Jawsh 685's Samoan and Cook Island roots and went viral on TikTok in 2020 sparking the "Culture Dance" challenge, in which others would show off their cultural roots while dancing to the song.[1] Following its viral success, "Laxed (Siren Beat)" was officially released to online platforms on 24 April 2020 and Jawsh 685 signed with Columbia Records in May 2020.[3][4]

Unauthorized usage by Derulo

Following the viral success of "Laxed (Siren Beat)" on TikTok, Jason Derulo posted a video of himself partaking in the "Culture Dance" challenge, which received tens of millions of views.[3] On 11 May 2020, Derulo teased "Savage Love" which was built off of a sample of "Laxed (Siren Beat)".[5] However, Derulo did not credit Jawsh 685 nor did Derulo obtain clearance for the sample.[6][7] This sparked widespread backlash and calls for Derulo to properly clear the sample and credit Jawsh 685.[6][8][7] It was reported that Jawsh 685 was in talks with multiple artists, including Derulo, to remix "Laxed (Siren Beat)", but Derulo "went 'rogue'" and released "Savage Love" without properly obtaining permission to do so.[6] A source close to the situation stated that Derulo wanted the song for himself and to only have Jawsh 685 as the producer, but Jawsh 685 wanted more control over the work and did not want to be "bullied by a larger artist into putting [the song] out".[6]

Official release

On 11 June 2020, Columbia Records announced that the two artists had "put aside their differences" with Jawsh 685 allowing Derulo to use the sample.[1] Jawsh 685 is credited as an artist and co-writer, as well as the track's sole producer.[1] Additionally, "(Laxed – Siren Beat)" was added to the title.[2]
