5 years ago today, Elton John & Dua Lipa released “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix).”

An unexpected collaboration between two generations of pop stars produced one of the decade's biggest crossover hits when Elton John and Dua Lipa released 'Cold Heart (Pnau Remix).' The track was created by Australian electronic trio Pnau, who blended elements from several Elton John classics, including 'Rocket Man,' 'Sacrifice,' 'Kiss the Bride,' and 'Where's the Shoorah?'. The result was a sleek dance-pop anthem that felt both nostalgic and completely contemporary, with Dua Lipa's vocals weaving seamlessly alongside Elton's.

Rather than simply remixing a single song, Pnau reconstructed pieces of Elton's catalog into an entirely new composition, giving the collaboration a unique identity. The animated music video embraced a vibrant psychedelic style, featuring colorful extraterrestrial characters and fantastical landscapes that matched the song's euphoric atmosphere. The release also reflected Elton's long-running interest in electronic music collaborations, which had previously included his work with Pnau on earlier remix projects.

The song became a massive international success, reaching number one in the UK, Australia, and several other countries, while climbing into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. It also earned major streaming milestones and introduced Elton's music to a new generation of listeners through Dua Lipa's global audience. In the years since, 'Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)' has remained one of the most successful collaborations of both artists' careers and a standout example of classic pop being reinvented for the streaming era.
