There’s something special that happens when a track built on real emotion gets handed over to a producer who knows how to make a dance floor move. Paris WYA just did exactly that with the LAWRENT remix of “Treat Me Right,” and the result feels like the perfect next chapter for a song that started in heartbreak.
Originally featured on her recent EP MANNEQUIN, “Treat Me Right” already carried weight. Written from a place of heartbreak, the track sat inside an EP that leaned into more ethereal arrangements and diaristic lyricism. Now LAWRENT, the Paris-born, London-based DJ and producer who’s worked with names like Armin van Buuren, ALOK, and Lucas & Steve, has flipped it into something anthemic and weightless. The remix keeps the emotional core of the original while surrounding Paris’s soaring pop vocals with high-energy electronic production that sits comfortably between dance pop, old-school house, bass house, and electro house. It’s the kind of reworking that makes you hear the song differently without erasing what made it connect in the first place.
Paris herself put it best: “‘Treat Me Right’ was written from heartbreak. This remix feels like what comes after it. LAWRENT brought such a fresh perspective to the song. He transformed it into something weightless and euphoric while still holding onto the heart of the original.” That balance is what makes the release land. You still feel the vulnerability, but now it’s riding a production that wants to lift the room.
This is the second installment in Paris’s ongoing remix series, following the earlier Dawty version, and it fits the trajectory she’s been building. Raised across Shanghai, Paris, and most recently New York, where she graduated from Cornell, Paris WYA has always moved between worlds. She’s a multi-instrumentalist trained on guitar, piano, and drums, and her earlier projects UNTANGLED (2024) and GLITCH (2025) showed her range from digital-pop edges to synth-driven work. MANNEQUIN, made with Adrian Cota and GRAMMY-nominated producer Morgan Taylor Reid, marked a shift toward more stripped-down, atmospheric energy while still exploring heartbreak, self-perception, grief, and clarity. The LAWRENT remix feels like the natural extension of that world into the club.
Beyond the music, Paris treats her creative output as a full visual and physical experience. She collaborates with designers Domen & Van De Velde on her aesthetic and brings a background in ballet, jazz, and hip-hop dance into her performances. That multidisciplinary approach shows up in how cohesive everything feels, from the song to the larger world she’s building.
In a scene where remixes often either water down the original or bury it under trends, this one manages to respect the source while giving it new life. Dance-pop and house have always thrived on that kind of conversation between songwriters and producers, and Paris WYA and LAWRENT are having a good one here.
