Overview
"Jackie Chan" is a song with vocals by Canadian rapper Preme, featuring vocals from American rapper and singer Post Malone. The track was originally featured on Preme's debut full-length album, Light of Day, released on May 4, 2018. Upon hearing the vocal in the studio, Dutch DJ Tiësto and Canadian DJ Julian Dzeko decided to produce an alternate version with crossover club appeal, for release as a single.
The dance version is credited to Tiësto and Dzeko featuring Preme and Post Malone. The single was released through Musical Freedom on 18 May 2018. It was written by all of the song's performers together with Louis Bell and Luis Raposo Torres. The title of the song is a reference to the martial artist and actor of the same name. It was eventually included on Tiësto's sixth studio album, The London Sessions (2020).
Following its release as a single, "Jackie Chan" peaked at number 52 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number one on US Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart (Tiësto's third, and the first apiece for Dzeko, Preme, and Malone). It also peaked within the top ten of the charts in several countries, including Belgium (Wallonia), Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland and the United Kingdom as well as the top twenty of the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Italy, Norway, Portugal and Sweden.
Critical reception
Kat Bein of Billboard described the song as "a summer-ready anthem with a couple of cool breeze features from the singing MCs", calling it "a delightful slice of pop crossover for both the hip-hop and electronic dance entertainers".
