In 2010, Major Lazer released Lazerproof, a free download mixtape with pop sensation La Roux, and Lazers Never Die, an EP featuring two new tracks and three remixes, including one by Thom Yorke. One of the foremost breakthroughs for Major Lazer during this time was the production collaboration with Beyoncé on her single “Run the World (Girls)”, which sampled their track “Pon de Floor." BeyoncÉ directly sought out Switch and Diplo, recognizing the fact that they were creating authentically innovative music and further cementing their status as a production team worthy of worldwide mainstream attention. As 2011 turned to 2012, Switch determined it best to pursue his own path, leaving Diplo in full control of Major Lazer.
As the sole executive producer of Major Lazer, Diplo continued to spearhead the current dancehall revival movement with the 2013 release Free The Universe. That album included collaborations with Bruno Mars, Tyga, Flux Pavilion, Wynter Gordon, Shaggy, Wyclef Jean, Ezra Koening from Vampire Weekend, Dev and more. Spin called the LP’s first single "Get Free" featuring Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors, "a meeting point between Jamaica, West Africa, and Brooklyn."
Diplo (AKA Wesley Pentz) has risen through the ranks and has asserted himself as one of the most pioneering producers of the time. Through unending curiosity and exploration of the vast multitudes of the world’s musical heritages, Diplo has managed to seamlessly connect the global underground to the audio mainstream. He is the Grammy-nominated founder, owner and head honcho of Mad Decent records, which has not only garnered widespread critical and audience accolades since its inception, but has also deservedly earned a hefty reputation as a vanguard of groundbreaking releases. As Major Lazer, he retreated to Jamaica in 2012 to team up with producers Ariel Rechtshaid and Dre Skull on Snoop Lion's (Snoop Dogg) 2013 album "Reincarnated". Major Lazer was also featured on the title track from No Doubt's 2012 comeback album with famed dancehall artist Busy Signal and released an official remix for Hot Chip’s "Look At Where We Are".

Major Lazer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Muy caliente
Y veut soigner tous mes maux
Mais je lui dis d'aller doucement, yeah
Il veut effacer mes doutes et mes peines
Et ça, tendrement, yeah
Est-ce que tu sens cette énergie?
Je veux ressentir ça jusqu'à la fin
Sinon c'est mort, j'vais tracer ma route

The lyrics of Major Lazer's song C'est cuit talk about a person who wants to do things their way and follow their instincts. The individual in the song does not want anyone to solve their problems for them and wants to feel a certain energy until the end; otherwise, they will leave and trace their path. The lyrics also talk about being elusive but making a significant impression when arriving. The term "C'est cuit" is a French expression, and it means that something is cooked or done.
The person in the song mentions that someone wants to heal all their pain, but they tell the individual to go slowly. This may be a reference to a romantic relationship where one person is trying to get too close too soon, and the other person wants to take things slowly. The lyrics also refer to someone trying to erase their doubts and sorrows gently. These emotions and doubts are natural, and the person in the song wants to deal with them at their pace.
