“Ido things my way / Or take the highway / But my heart, it never missed a beat.” Bebe Rexha has spoken.  Those lyrics hail from the first verse of her brief but entertaining single, “Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)”. In the second verse, she asserts, “I’ve been on a vibe, babe / Breaking out of my cage / Living on the wilderness of my escape.” Wild!  “Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)” serves up those dance-pop vibes – a good look for the pop star. It was penned by Rexha, Aluna Francis, and Chris Lake. Providing the sleek production work is Lake. The beat is infectious while the keys and synths shimmer. 

Bebe Rexha, Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da) [📷: Warner]“Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)” thrives off of lightness. It never gets too heavy.  Rexha delivers solid vocals, never forcing things.  Does she break a sweat? Nah, particularly during the drop/post-chorus: “Mm, da-da-da, da-da-da…” Those lyrics are nonsensical but ear-catching. Before that, she shines in the chorus, asserting, “Chase it / I’ll never chase it / I won’t leave alone tonight.” She’s determined! There are also plenty of vocal effects making things even more colorful – pitch shift, reverb, etc. “Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)” isn’t profound in the least but, it is a vibe – the perfect vibe for summertime.  Bebe let’s dance!
