After emerging out of Agoura Hills, Calif. in the early 2000s, Hoobastank broke into the big time with their 2003 album The Reason, the title track from which reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 and scored Hoobastank a pair of Grammy nominations.

“I think we were surprised at how massive it became, and still is,” Hoobastank guitarist Dan Estrin told Billboard in 2023. “But we also knew the record company loved the song and was going to do everything they could to get it out there.”

Now, 22 years later, the track continues its cultural endurance via an official remix by Steve Aoki and Dutch duo Sound Rush, who bring big EDM and hardstyle vibes to the alt-rock original. Listen to the edit below.

The project has long been in fruition, with Aoki — who himself came to prominence in Y2K era SoCal — playing edits of “The Reason” during his festival sets over the years. The track comes from the newly released HiROQUEST 3: Paragon Remixed, a remix project of Aoki’s 2025 HiROQUEST 3 album.

“Every single day, we get tagged in videos of people covering it. It’s pretty amazing,” Estrin continued to Billboard in 2023. “All different styles, from funk versions to Steve Aoki doing a remix at Tomorrowland. We’ve seen a country version, a group of dads that sing and harmonize together, punk rock versions, heavy metal versions, people playing it on drums, guitar, bass and piano. Different vocal performances and Latin versions. And so on. It’s insane! My favorite karaoke videos are when it gets to the bridge where the lyrics belt out ‘and the reason is youuuu.’ Watching and hearing the entire bar sing it together is always awesome.”

To that end, turn this one up loud and belt along.
