The original boasts global viral success, amassing over 2.3 million user-generated creates and 1.4 billion views on TikTok.
“David has always been a master at creating music that uplifts and unites people, so bringing him on for this remix was a no-brainer,” shares Akon. “He was the perfect choice to bring fresh energy to ‘Akon’s Beautiful Day’ – and with Hypaton in the mix, they elevate its message to a whole new level.”
The original has already broken records as the only independent release to debut as the #1 most-added song at U.S. rhythmic radio in 2024. Climbing charts rapidly, it hit #8 on Mediabase’s Rhythmic Airplay, #19 on the Weekly Mediabase Pop Airplay chart, and #20 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay, with a 244% streaming surge fuelled by major stations like KISS 108 Boston and SiriusXM Hits1.

Akon, known for historic milestones like holding the #1 and #2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 twice and reaching 1 billion views on YouTube, continues to inspire with his latest single, ‘Akon’s Beautiful Day’. The track reimagines a viral moment from 10-year-old Jamaican student Rushawn Ewears, whose heartfelt school performance resonated worldwide. Blending Akon’s smooth vocals with a children’s choir, the acoustic-driven anthem builds to an uplifting chorus, delivering a powerful message of resilience, hope, and finding beauty in life’s challenges. Crafted alongside Jkash, JR Rotem, and Phillip Phever, the song is a celebration of light and connection.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
