Måneskin described the collaboration as an "honour", adding: "It was touching seeing him sing I Wanna Be Your Slave live in front of us, it was very powerful to see such a big artist being so open and friendly.

"We all grew up listening to his music and he inspired us to starting up a band, it’s still unbelievable for us that we had the chance to get to know him and make music together.”

On why he teamed up with the Italian band, Iggy said: Måneskin gave me a big hot buzz.”

The rework follows the release of the music video for I Wanna Be Your Slave, which has notched up over 25 million views in less than one month. 

Måneskin have quickly become Eurovision's biggest recent success. Their winning single Zitti E Buoni reached the Top 20 on the singles chart, while their cover of Beggin' earned them a second Top 10.
