David Guetta, BOY LOCO, + more - Songwriting & Publishing Royalties

Every catalog has a beginning, and this one’s story starts across three very different stages of artistry. "Living Without You" was born in Ibiza, previewed in a surprise DJ set by David Guetta before becoming a late-summer anthem - catchy, vibrant, and meant for dancefloors. "Write It Down" offered a quieter entry: a soul-bearing ballad that critics called a confessional standout, signaling Hamzaa’s rise. Then came "I’ll Break My Heart Again", a delicate piano-led song that introduced Mimi Webb’s voice to a global audience just before her chart-climbing hits. Crooked Colours’ "Don’t Give Up On Me" rounded out the foundation with its textured indie-electronic sound. In the early years, these tracks moved in different lanes—dance, R&B, pop, electronic—but each earned its place with audiences in its own way.

What began as a collection of promising singles has become a catalog defined by growth. Over the past five years, it has delivered a 16.09% CAGR, well above the 50th percentile benchmark of -4.37% across all catalogs analyzed by Royalty Exchange. "Living Without You" alone commands nearly 41M Spotify streams, with a playlist reach of 3.5M and about 188K new streams per month.

Streaming leads the way, contributing 49% of earnings. Performance royalties grew at a 65.46% CAGR, while streaming mechanicals surged at 37.17%. With a Dollar Age of just 3.07 years, these royalties are still young suggesting long-term runway as the catalog matures.

This is not a static catalog; it’s a living body of work with momentum on its side. Built on diverse tracks, recognized global voices, and strong streaming performance, it reflects both resonance and breadth across today’s music landscape.

“Living Without You” is a buoyant, piano-house collaboration from Sigala, David Guetta and Sam Ryder, released in 2022 on Ministry of Sound/B1; it arrived after the trio previewed the track during a surprise set at Ushuaïa Ibiza, and was introduced by Official Charts as an end-of-summer dance anthem pairing Ryder’s huge vocal with euphoric drops. On release it logged UK Official Singles Chart peak #48, plus #19 on the UK Dance Singles, #11 on Singles Sales, and #4 on the Physical Singles chart, with around 10–11 weeks on the UK Top 100.

“Drink in Moderation” is a 2024 single by BOY LOCO. Lyrically, the song plays with generational defiance giving the track a relatable, youthful edge. The song also found traction on TikTok, peaking at #12 on the global TikTok chart and generating nearly 20,000 creator uses of its official sound. With its compact structure, rebellious theme, and viral lift, Drink in Moderation adds a playful yet candid voice to BOY LOCO’s growing catalog, positioned between late-night introspection and modern alt-pop energy.

“Write It Down” is a soulful R&B single by London singer-songwriter Hamzaa, released in 2019 via Parlophone; it arrived with an official video and later acoustic and remix versions, including club-leaning takes by Preditah and Fred V. The track was covered in press as a confessional, end-of-year standout as she prepared to tour following her Phases EP.

“I’ll Break My Heart Again” is a piano-led pop ballad by Mimi Webb, released in 2020 via Epic Records. The single helped define Webb’s early sound ahead of later hits like “Good Without” and “Dumb Love.”
