"Hi" is a song by Scottish alternative rock band Texas featuring American hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan, released as the lead single from their tenth studio album of the same name (2021). The track was written by Eddie Campbell, Robert Hodgens, Sharleen Spiteri, Johnny McElhone and Jack McElhone, and was produced by John McElhone and Angelica Bjornsson.[1] The single was released in December 2020 through BMG.[2]
"Hi" is the second collaboration between Texas and Wu-Tang Clan, after both previously collaborated in 1998 with a re-worked version of Texas' 1997 hit single "Say What You Want" re-titled as "Say What You Want (All Day, Every Day)". The 1998 release proved to be a commercial success, reach the top ten in the United Kingdom, Iceland, Scotland, Belgium and New Zealand. The success of the single lead to a performance from both Texas and Wu-Tang Clan at the 1998 BRIT Awards.
Originally, Spiteri had passed the track to RZA from Wu-Tang Clan to mix and finalise the recording, however, after hearing the track, RZA was keen for Wu-Tang Clan to become involved, leading to an official collaboration.[3]
"Hi" received its first radio airplay by Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show.[4]
Despite airplay on BBC Radio 2, the song failed to chart in the United Kingdom or Texas' native Scotland. However, the song appeared on the Wallonia Ultratip chart in Belgium, where it charted at number 50 on 23 January 2021.[5]
The official music video premiered on the band's YouTube channel on 1 December 2020, the same day the single was officially released. The video begins with the 1998 BRIT Awards performance between Texas and Wu-Tang Clan performing "Say What You Want (All Day, Every Day)". The video then cuts to the present day, where RZA is seen driving an old Mercedes-Benz car down a country road. The music video features very little of Spiteri and features mostly RZA and Wu-Tang Clan, with Spiteri making only an appearance towards the end of the video where she is sitting on top of the Mercedes-Benz at dusk, with RZA standing beside her.
