"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. It remains Pianoman's only hit single.
