Tip released a statement after the song and video dropped:
Elton's influence shows you that the possibilities of music are endless...He's astute in so many types of music, he does it all and being a hip hop kid, our whole aesthetic was that everything was up for grabs and that's how he has always been to me. I remember the premiere of 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' with Kiki Dee and seeing it as a kid and loving it ... Rhythmically, we just wanted to make it a little funkier.
With the release of the video, John also put out a clip talking about Q-Tip and Demi Lovato's duet. Watch both videos below.
