AMERICAN pop sensation Selena Gomez has sampled Buju Banton's 1995 hit song Champion for her latest single, Like a Champion. The song is from Gomez' new album Stars Dance which was released this month.
The 21-year-old uses Banton's original lines, 'Walk like a champion/ talk like a champion/ ram-pa-pa-pam-pam' for her introduction and hook. Banton, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence in the United States on drug-related charges, recorded Champion for producer Donovan Germain.
The song is from his seminal 1995 album 'Til Shiloh. Germain said he heard of the Gomez remix this week. "I didn't hear about the track until Wednesday when someone sent me a YouTube link," he told Splash. "All I can say is that it is a 'good look' for the industry.
