What to know about ''Without You'' by David Guetta and Usher

Produced by DJ David Guetta and sung by Usher, ''Without You'' reached the number-four position on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Charts in 2011. 

In an interview with MTV News, Guetta explained why he chose Usher for the track's vocals. ''It's perfect for him, because he's famous for his ballads. And he's also now famous for those big club records that he comes with. He's an amazing dancer, so I felt like he was the Artist that I needed," he said. 

In 2017, Billboard named ''Without You'' as the fourth best David Guetta song. ''Usher provides the perfect sing-along hook over Guetta’s higher-than-higher synth melodies,'' the outlet wrote of the track.
