Bebe Rexha has previously collaborated with the likes of Pitbull and Martin Garrix

Bebe Rexha has had a number of notable collaborations throughout her career. She worked on the Pitbull single, This Is Not a Drill, in 2014, and worked with Martin Garrix on the 2016 single, In the Name of Love. Other collaborations over the years include a co-writer work on the Eminem and Rihanna track The Monster, Selena Gomez's Like a Champion and G-Eazy's Me, Myself & I.

In an interview with Out on February 1, 2024, the singer talked about how The Monster came to be an Eminem and Rihanna track, stating:

"It was the first record I wrote called "The Monster," which is now Rihanna and Eminem’s record. I remember playing it for a big CEO at this record label at the time that I won’t name and I remember playing the song for him. He said there’s something special here, but keep working and doing my thing."

The singer continued:

"I was discouraged because I knew there was something special there with my songs. There was an opportunity where I could’ve given the record to Eminem, who loved it, or another rapper at the time who I won’t name."

The singer added:

"The other rapper wanted to be on it but I told him I’m going to give it to Eminem as I think that would be such a big moment and he’ll make it sound great. In the beginning, I was upset because I was younger, but later, it ended up earning me the respect I now have in the music industry and it opened many doors for me."

She later talked about collaborating with David Guetta, stating:

"I think for him and I, I definitely do think when we work together, there’s chemistry in our friendship and our music relationship. We have a very strong musical chemistry. I’ll send him something and vice versa and we’re very honest with each other. We tend to be on the same page and we’re really good at going back and forth..."

Bebe Rexha has also collaborated with Cash Cash on their single Take Me Home, and David Guetta on his track Hey Mama, where she appeared alongside Nicki Minaj and Afrojack.

Bebe Rexha released her latest studio album, Bebe, in 2023. The album is her third studio album. The album charted well in the Canada, the UK and Japan. It received a gold certification in Canada.
