Taio Cruz ‘Hangover’ Video Ft. Flo Rida

Taio Cruz 'Hangover'

Taio Cruz is out with the music video to his new single ‘Hangover’, featuring Flo Rida, off the London, England singer songwriter’s third album studio album, ‘TY.O’, out soon on Island Records.

Cruz tells RollingStone.com he penned the song after partying with friends in Ibiza. “I don’t really drink alcohol myself, but the scenery going on around me definitely inspired the music,” he explained. “The lyrics are a bit risque, but they’re a mirror to most people’s weekly, if not nightly, antics, and I wanted to make a song that was a true representation of all the partygoers out there. People party, they drink, and they have hangovers – I’m not making this up!”

Rap-up.com spoke with Taio Cruz in a Q&A, asking the British pop star what was it like working with Ke$ha on his new single ‘Dirty Picture’. “She was awesome,” Cruz said. “I actually finally got to meet her at the video shoot.
