People born in the 90s have been left baffled at a woman who claims she's found 'the song of the summer' - but it was the song of the summer many moons ago. Hayley Sibley posted a video on saying: "This is the song of the summer, ladies and gentlemen," as she positioned the phone to have a dance to the song that she reckoned she'd .
In fact, the song has been remixed and rediscovered many times after its 1986 release by Candi Staton. 'You Got The Love,' which was made even more famous by Florence + the Machine's 'You've Got the Love' in 2009, was originally recorded about the world's fattest man and his battle. In return for her vocal services, the programme-makers donated half the publishing rights to Staton, reports the .
But Hayley was buzzing to find a remix of the song, but some 90s babies were less than impressed, as the song was super popular when they were younger.

"I was just getting ready and it came on on my Spotify random shuffle," Hayley excitedly exclaimed, as she started to dance when the remix dropped.
"I feel like even your nan would get down to this," Hayley joked, as she continued to dance as the song played.
But the top comment was a man who was less than impressed with Hayley's antics, penning: "Every 90's kid already typing an eye roll and as if she thinks this is new, till that beat drops lol".
Another agreed, saying: "Song of summer 2009****. It’s so overplayed nowadays". Someone else pointed out that the song was much older than that, correcting that the date was 1986. "That’s the original. Florence remixed it in 2009, and this is similar," they clarified.
"The original is so much better," another TikTok user added, with another saying they thought it was "sad" that most of "today's music is recycled".
One woman wrote: "Candi Statton will always make it go off...You Got the Love has been an anthem of every summer since it was first released!"
"Every Gen X has a knowing smile right now," somebody joked, because the song was actually released during their era.
"That's because we know the original, so we will always get down to it - both the original and this version," a music-lover pointed out.
"The choir in the church sang this during my wedding when signing the marriage certificate… we’re now getting divorced but this is a bangerrrr," one woman wrote.
Hayley responded, saying: "I wasn't expecting the ending," followed by a bunch of crying emojis.
One man was fuming with the remix, however, writing: "Rule #1 only tinker with a classic if you make it better than the original".
