It wasn't long until he returned to the clubs in 2008 with Math and Do My Dance and as predicted both tracks were quickly picked up by every big name on the scene. The remix together with The Partysquad, Drop Down (do my dance) was his first hit in the Dutch charts in 2008.
Take Over Control the newest member to the ever growing brood of hits looks set to follow in similar footsteps. Afrojack has teamed up with hot Dutch vocal talent Eva Simons. With huge interest and support from major labels stateside and with a tour already completed in the US and in Australia, Afrojack looks set to replicate other breakthrough artists such as Sidney Samson and Fedde Le Grand.

The lyrics of "Bangduck" by Afrojack start with the line "In het begin was er Jack" (which translates to "In the beginning, there was Jack"). This line is a play on the famous opening line of the Bible: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". By using this line, Afrojack is likening himself to a creator or god-like figure, who is responsible for bringing his music to life. The line that follows reveals Jack's unique physical appearance, which includes an afro. This could be interpreted as a part of Afrojack's brand identity - the artist is known for his iconic hairstyle that has become synonymous with his name.
The conversation that follows between the two speakers of the song emphasizes the uniqueness and authenticity of Jack's style. The repetition of the question "Echt?" (which translates to "Really?") highlights the doubt that the other speaker has about Jack's style, but the response "Ja" (which translates to "Yes") reinforces Jack's self-assuredness. This dialogue serves as a nod to Afrojack's individuality as an artist, who is not afraid to embrace his unique style, and is a reminder to his fans and listeners to stay true to themselves and their own creative expression.
