"Sticks & Stones" is the dance version of Nelly Furtado's cover that she recorded for her 2017 album The Ride featuring the British production duo Metro (Brian Rawling and Mark Taylor). Impressed with Metro’s remixes of her song, Furtado rerecorded the vocals from her cover on the new version, giving the single an electro-house feel.^[5]

The 2018 version became Furtado's seventh number one and Metro's first on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart, reaching the summit, as well as reaching number 30 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
