Dutch-Moroccan multi-platinum producer R3HAB, known for his innovative blend of electronic music with contemporary trends, is back with a fresh track, “Believe (Shooting Stars),” a hopeful reimagining of Bag Raiders’ classic hit. This time, he’s teamed up with social media sensations Mufasa & Hypeman, who became household names with the viral success of Mufasa’s track “Friday,” boasting over a billion streams on Spotify. Also joining them is singer RANI, whose collaborations with global icons like David Guetta, Martin Jensen, and Jonas Blue have made her a standout voice on the international stage. Their combined effort brings a renewed spirit to “Shooting Stars,” offering more than just a catchy beat for viral videos; it’s a soulful anthem.
R3HAB’s production adds a hypnotic bassline, Mufasa & Hypeman bring their signature, uplifting energy, and RANI’s vocals add a layer of heartfelt optimism. The release of “Believe (Shooting Stars)” follows R3HAB’s recent hits “Are You Happy Now” with Curley G and Crazy Donkey and “All Night” with Sophie and the Giants, marking a continued evolution in his musical journey.
“Life requires hope, a candle in the midst of a storm,” says R3HAB. “This song is a reminder to keep believing. When Mufasa sent me the idea, I knew it had huge potential, not just from the viral video but because of the positivity it radiates. RANI’s vocals were a perfect fit for our message, and we hope it inspires listeners to keep dreaming big.”
Reflecting on the journey, Mufasa & Hypeman share, “Our video dancing to ‘Shooting Stars’ brought people together during a time when unity was needed most. Seeing it resurface has been incredible, and collaborating with R3HAB and RANI feels like a true full-circle moment. We’ll always be grateful for this experience.”

The energy and emotion spoke to me right away. It’s all about believing in something bigger, just like making a wish on a shooting star. Blending nostalgia with a fresh sound, this track is something truly special, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
