"Hollywood", originally titled "Hollywood Is Dead",[1] is a song by Canadian artist Michael Bublé, released as the fifth and final single from his fourth studio album Crazy Love, and is the only from its re-release, The Hollywood Edition, which was released on October 25, 2010.[2] "Hollywood" was released worldwide on September 7, 2010.
Background
Bublé described the song as being about his "
The Today Show on November 28 and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
on December 12.
Composition
The song is based on a beat-like groove, unlike Bublé's many other uptempo singles, which feature a swing feel, such as "Haven't Met You Yet", "It's a Beautiful Day" and "Feeling Good".
It contains at least two references to songs by
Do You Want To Know A Secret?". Second, the first line of the fourth verse mentions a tango, and the groove of the song changes slightly, differentiating this verse from the first three - exactly the same happens in Chuck Berry's song "Rock and Roll Music
", and its cover version by the Beatles.
Music video
The
UsMagazine.com premiered the exclusive backstage filming of the music video on October 5.[9]
