Yellow Claw’s “CRUSH” Featured in Nicole Kidman’s ‘Babygirl’ Nightclub Scene
The track sets the beat for a scene in the blockbuster film Babygirl from A24 starring Nicole Kidman & Harris Dickinson.
Yellow Claw’s electrifying 2024 hit “CRUSH” has found a new life on the big screen, setting the tone for one of the most unforgettable moments in A24’s Babygirl. Directed by Halina Reijn and starring Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, and Antonio Banderas, the Dutch-led film dives into the underground party scene with a pulsating rave sequence that sees Kidman fully immersed in the chaos.
The chorus – “I got a crush, can’t get enough, you told me hush, oh what a rush” – aligns seamlessly with the film’s raw energy, creating an unforgettable synergy between sound and cinema. With the Babygirl effect in full force, the song is now pulling over 1 million streams per week, further cementing Yellow Claw’s dominance in both music and film.
Yellow Claw’s connection to Babygirl was no coincidence. Jim Taihuttu, one-half of the Dutch electronic duo, introduced the track directly to Reijn during filming, where it instantly resonated with the crew. Known for their cinematic sensibilities, Yellow Claw has consistently crafted music that transcends the dancefloor, with placements in major projects like 22 Jump Street, Good Boys, Madden NFL, and Just Dance. Taihuttu’s dual career as a filmmaker – having directed Hardcore Never Dies, The East, and Wolf – only further strengthens their ability to create tracks that heighten visual storytelling. Babygirl is yet another testament to their knack for making music that leaves a lasting impact.
For over a decade, Yellow Claw has dominated the global dance music scene, amassing over a billion streams and collaborating with industry giants like DJ Snake, Tiësto, and Gucci Mane. Their breakout hits, from “DJ Turn It Up” to “In My Room,” have made them festival staples, while their debut album Blood For Mercy topped Billboard charts and earned them an Edison Award. Beyond their relentless beats, their signature style and high-energy performances have solidified their legacy. Now, with Babygirl adding another milestone to their career, Yellow Claw continues to prove that their music isn’t just made for clubs – it’s made for culture.
