His Selena Gomez collaborat­ion It Ain’t Me remains his most successful single to date, declaring the song one of 2017’s most potent contenders for the official song of summer, explaining that the tropical house-flavored beats “scream summer.” His single,

First Time with Ellie Goulding charted at No. 1 on iTunes in 14 countries and debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot
