Heidi Klum is going all ‘80s on us, and we are here for it.

On Friday night, the German supermodel put on her DJ hat up in the booth at LIV at the Fontainebleau, mixing and dancing up a storm for her new single, “Sunglasses at Night.”

The “America’s Got Talent” judge and “SAN” collaborator, EDM superstar Tiesto, posed together wearing dark shades for a snap on Instagram.

So why did Klum decide to do her own take on the disco-era classic?

The “America’s Got Talent” judge told Rolling Stone that she can relate to the iconic 1984 hit thanks to her high-profile profession.

“I’m standing in the limelight a lot, so I get looked at all the time,” Klum told the outlet. “But I feel like a lot of people are a little bit shy, so putting your glasses on, you have this shield that you can also hide behind and you can be a little bit more outgoing.”

The mother of four, 50, has a soft spot for the “cool” song with the “epic” intro, recalling she heard it often while working as a teen making coffee for patrons at a club named Checker’s in Düsseldorf.

“It’s for that scene that goes out,” she explained. “You’re out all night, you’re super sweaty, makeup is everywhere, so all you want to do is put your glasses on.”

Hart, now 61, was reportedly on board with the 2024 remix.

“He has been the sweetest,” Klum said of the “Never Surrender” singer. “He said, ‘It’s like a seductive supernova dance explosion on the bright side of the moon.’ Isn’t that so cute?”
