Yellow Claw’s electrifying 2024 hit “CRUSH”, featuring Natte Visstick and RHYME, has surged into the spotlight once again, this time fueling the high-energy rave scene in Halina Reijn’s latest film, Babygirl. Starring Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, and Antonio Banderas, the Dutch-directed thriller immerses audiences in an underground party where “CRUSH” delivers the perfect sonic backdrop for one of the film’s most unforgettable moments.
The track’s pulsating beats and infectious chorus—“I got a crush, can’t get enough, you told me hush, oh what a rush”—seamlessly complement the intensity of the scene, amplifying the raw energy on screen. With over 1 million streams per week, the Babygirl effect is in full swing, further solidifying the track’s status as a global dance anthem.
From Studio to Screen: A Natural Collaboration
The partnership between Yellow Claw and Babygirl came together organically, thanks to Jim Taihuttu, one-half of the duo and an accomplished filmmaker in his own right. Taihuttu personally introduced the track to Reijn during filming, and the crew was instantly drawn to its aggressive techno energy, making it the perfect fit for the film’s underground party scene.
This isn’t the first time Yellow Claw’s music has made waves in film and entertainment. Their high-octane sound has been featured in 22 Jump Street, Good Boys, Madden NFL, and Just Dance, proving their ability to craft music that heightens cinematic storytelling.
Yellow Claw: A Decade of Dancefloor Domination
For nearly a decade, Yellow Claw has been a driving force in the global electronic music scene, amassing over 1 billion streams and headlining the world’s biggest festivals and nightclubs. Their discography includes massive collaborations with DJ Snake, Steve Aoki, Gucci Mane, Tinashe, Tiësto, A$AP Ferg, and Juicy J, while their club anthems—“DJ Turn It Up,” “Do You Like Bass,” and “Till It Hurts”—continue to ignite dance floors worldwide.
Their 2015 debut album, Blood For Mercy, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart and the Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart, earning them an Edison Award, the Dutch equivalent of a GRAMMY. The album featured the smash hit “In My Room” feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Tyga, & DJ Mustard, which has surpassed 160 million Spotify streams.
Beyond their music, Yellow Claw has built a distinctive brand identity, known for their sophisticated stage outfits, high-energy performances, and cinematic vision. As Babygirl introduces their sound to new audiences, it further reinforces their ability to bridge the gap between music and film, proving once again that Yellow Claw’s heavy beats are the perfect match for the big screen.
