Daisy the Great and AJR built "Record Player" out of a song that had been hiding in plain sight: "The Record Player Song", Daisy the Great's debut single from 2017, which also turned up on the EP I've Got a Few Friends & I Wish They Were Mine. The new version came out on S-Curve Records and landed on the deluxe edition of All You Need Is Time, Daisy the Great's second album.
The original was a sleeper that critics had mostly ignored until it caught fire on TikTok early in 2021. That's where AJR singer Jack Met found it and flipped for the chorus, calling it the catchiest thing the band had ever heard, so AJR pitched a team-up: keep that hook and build a new song around it. The remix adds two fresh verses and extra production from Ryan Met, and the result is a bright two-band singalong.
