Why we feature this artist
La La La puts refusal inside an inviting pop refrain
La La La is the 2013 Naughty Boy recording featuring Sam Smith from the Hotel Cabana period. Smith’s clear melodic delivery gives the song an immediately recognisable emotional centre, while the production turns its central act of refusal into a surprisingly inviting pop gesture.
The original roles
The original Universal credits identify Naughty Boy and Komi as producers and programmers, with Mojam contributing co-production. Smith is credited with vocals and songwriting. The partnership therefore connects a particular singer’s performance to the producers’ carefully defined electronic setting.
The repeated hook is central to the song’s economy. Its simplicity leaves room for the vocal tone and the surrounding rhythmic details to carry the feeling, making the refusal sound both clear and emotionally charged.
The featured recording in context
The complete La La La editorial profile follows the original video, creative team and album setting. The Feat. spelling identifies the same collaboration heard under the Starring credit, keeping Smith’s contribution attached to the recording that introduced the song’s distinct point of view.
