"Just Be" is a song by Tiësto, featuring British singer and songwriter Kirsty Hawkshaw.

Overview

With its first appearance being the title track of Tiësto's album Just Be, the song was released as the album's third single on 11 October 2004. The single was promoted with a remix by Antillas, which also became the selected track for the official music video. Antillas' remix was also the featured radio promo, while the original version of the song remained exclusive to the album. The Antillas' remix was made popular by John Garabedian, host of the syndicated Open House Party, as a frequent close out song to his program which he still plays to this present day.

The song was eventually reissued under a new title, "Just Be Me", produced by Jimmy Gomez. The alternative production made its debut on the 2004 drama series soundtrack , compiled by American DJ duo Gabriel & Dresden.[1] It eventually saw a second appearance the following year, being featured as the opening track on Kirsty Hawkshaw's second album, Meta-Message, released on 10 October 2004.[2]
