"Just Got Paid" incorporates several music genres, including funk and electronic dance music along with a disco vibe. The song is composed of horns and riffs, with lyrics about payday that Radio.com's LA described as "fun-filled, youthful, and careless". [7] Trainor and Eyre deliver "poppy" vocals over its production, which utilises the "ka-ching" sound effect made by a cash register. [5] The song is about living a luxurious lifestyle in spite of not being wealthy, with Eyre's verse seeing her attempting to save money but then giving it and spending it, while Trainor chants about "work[ing] to the bone" and thus celebrating the payout. [6]

Release and promotion

Ministry of Sound and B1 Recordings released "Just Got Paid" for digital download and streaming as a collaboration between the trio, with a featured verse from French Montana, on 7 September 2018, as the tenth single from Sigala's debut studio album Brighter Days. [8] The record labels serviced the song to contemporary hit radio in Australia on the same day and in the United Kingdom on 21 September, while Sony Music sent it to the radio format in Italy on 14 September. [9] [10] [11] A Remix EP to promote the song was released on 30 November 2018, featuring remixes of the song by the Him, M-22 and Dean-E-G. [12]

The music video for "Just Got Paid" was released on 10 October 2018. It commences with Eyre working at a laundromat where she starts a party. Trainor works a job at the counter of a grocery store, from which she departs as soon as receiving her paycheque. The two of them unite at a parking lot and perform a dance routine, while confetti falls from the sky. However, Montana does not appear in the video. [13] [14] Sigala and Eyre performed "Just Got Paid" for Capital FM numerous times, during the 2018 Jingle Bell Ball, and in 2019 at the Summertime Ball and Jingle Bell Ball, respectively. [15] [16] [17]

Reception

"Just Got Paid" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. LA described the song as an "incredibly hot new vibe", noting that it includes "enough funk to make Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson do a double take", and added that Montana "[spat] the smoothest bars [...] with enough charisma to make your head bounce". [7] The track was listed among its release week's top five songs to listen to by Raisa Bruner of Time , who dubbed it the "song you put at the top [of] your going-out-after-payday playlist" and declared it "hard not to get to toe-tapping" over the production. [5] Idolator 's Mike Nied wrote that Trainor and Eyre "steal the show with their impeccable vocals" on the "fiery bop", and further called it "infectious and carefree" as well as a "floor filler [that] sounds like a serious hit". [6] Mike Wass of the same website labelled the song a "feel-good anthem". [13] A writer for Capital FM wrote that "when you combine Sigala and Ella Eyre, you just get bangers" and cited "Just Got Paid" as an example. [18] Billboard 's Rania Aniftos called the song a "catchy tune", while The Guardian 's Graeme Virtue called it a "triumphant" and "celebratory anti-austerity anthem that wears its daffy cash register 'ding' with pride". [14] [19]

"Just Got Paid" reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in the country, and reached numbers 7 and 12 in Scotland and Ireland, respectively. [20] [21] [22] [23] Other top 100 peak positions for the song included number 21 on Hungary's Rádiós Top 40 chart, [24] number 23 on Croatia's HRT chart, [25] number 39 on Slovakia's Rádió Top 100 chart, [26] as well as at numbers 44, 63 and 94 on the Polish Airplay Top 100, Romania's Airplay 100 and Czech Republic's Rádió Top 100 charts, respectively. [27] [28] [29] It was additionally certified gold in Australia and Poland by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (ZPAV), respectively.
