He Want That (Pan)cake

"He Want That (Pan)cake" is an unauthorized digital single by Sexy Star, recorded as a joke when Blacklight label boss Jean-Luc Bareilles caught Sexy Star performing a drunken freestyle rap in the Blacklight offices. Jean-Luc recorded the one-take vocal in secret, produced an urban backbeat for the vocal to sit on top of, and mocked up a single cover before secretly servicing the track to radio and iTunes as a practical joke. The joke was surprisingly successful when the track peaked at #5 on the digital chart.

Reception
The song was never formally premiered as it was never intended for public release; fans were eager to hear new music from Sexy Star however, with many buying it upon discovering its presence on iTunes.

Chart performance
The single charted on the UK Digital Singles Chart at #10, a major surprise for an unofficial buzz track that was quietly released. A week later, the song shockingly rose to a new peak of #5.

Music video
As "He Want That (Pan)cake" is not an official single it has received no video. However, Jean-Luc has uploaded a video featuring the original recording he made of Sexy Star with the fully-produced audio track.
