"Wasted" is a song by Dutch DJ and record producer Tiësto featuring Matthew Koma, who co-wrote the song with Tiësto and Australian production and songwriting duo Twice as Nice. "Wasted" was first released on 25 April 2014 by PM:AM Recordings as the second single from Tiësto's fifth studio album, A Town Called Paradise.[1] It was featured in the 2014 action comedy film 22 Jump Street.

Background and release

The song was announced by Tiësto in early April. A lyric video for the track was later uploaded to the artist's YouTube channel on 13 April 2014.

British radio station BBC Radio 1 opted to play an alternative version of the song titled "Naked", which replaced every occurrence of the term "wasted" with "naked".

Music video

The song's accompanying music video was released on 25 April 2014 and directed by Tabitha Denholm.

The video features six women (Taylor Godfrey, Allegra Carpenter, Kassi Smith...) in 1960s-era outfits enjoying themselves. Tiësto and Matthew Koma are seen starring on a TV show called The Tiësto Show where Koma is also seen singing the song.
