Background and composition
Sigala and Ella Eyre shared the same manager, and released their first collaboration "Came Here for Love" on 9 June 2017.[1] In 2018, Meghan Trainor's then-upcoming third major-label studio album Treat Myself (2020) had been delayed by her management who encouraged her to work on more collaborations, as she had few of them in the past.[2] Sigala, Eyre and Trainor co-wrote "Just Got Paid" with Steve Manovski, French Montana, George Astasio, Jon Shave, Nile Rodgers and Jason Pebworth, with production being solely handled by Sigala, Manovski and Joakim Jarl.[3] The song subsequently led toward Trainor developing the album's sound, with her hiring Sigala to co-write and produce its ninth track "Blink".[2][4]
"Just Got Paid" incorporates several music genres, including
Release and promotion
Ministry of Sound and B1 Recordings released "Just Got Paid" for digital download and streaming as a collaboration between the trio, with a featured verse from French Montana, on 7 September 2018, as the tenth single from Sigala's debut studio album Brighter Days.[8] The record labels serviced the song to contemporary hit radio in Australia on the same day and in the United Kingdom on 21 September, while Sony Music sent it to the radio format in Italy on 14 September.[9][10][11] A Remix EP to promote the song was released on 30 November 2018, featuring remixes of the song by the Him, M-22 and Dean-E-G.[12]
The music video for "Just Got Paid" was released on 10 October 2018. It commences with Eyre working at a laundromat where she starts a party. Trainor works a job at the counter of a grocery store, from which she departs as soon as receiving her paycheque. The two of them unite at a parking lot and perform a dance routine, while confetti falls from the sky. However, Montana does not appear in the video.[13][14] Sigala and Eyre performed "Just Got Paid" for Capital FM numerous times, during the 2018 Jingle Bell Ball, and in 2019 at the Summertime Ball and Jingle Bell Ball, respectively.[15][16][17]
