"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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
