V3.6 establishes the first-release year for this specifically credited recording family. Cheryl Cole-featured remix release family, not the earlier will.i.am album-only recording. Universal explicitly supplies the joint credit on its 2008 International Remix program. Different clean/explicit versions coexist; only first-release year is proposed. Year precision is retained; exact user-file mix and master identity are not established.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.
