"Blurred" is a song by English dance music producer Pianoman. The song is a mix of mid-'90s dance production (such as a prominent synthesizer riff running throughout the song), a sample of the chorus from the Blur song "Girls & Boys", and a piano melody from Jimi Polo's "Better Days". It was a hit in Ibiza in 1995 before being officially released the next year. The song reached number six on the UK Singles Chart after Blur approved the sample.[2] It remains Pianoman's only hit single.
