Made up of Mark Ronson and Diplo, this is Silk City’s first single since their 2018 releases, Loud featuring Desiigner and GoldLink, Only Can Get Better with Daniel Merriweather, and Electricity with Dua Lipa.

 

 

 

In a statement to Billboard, Ellie says, “The song is about losing yourself on your own, not needing to be seen, knowing that the one that got away could be just as happy as this too.  The main concept is dancing on your own not needing to be seen.  It seemed only right to make a tune together at a time where we all need to dance and be free, even if just in our kitchens.”

“I’m always stoked to get back in the studio with Mark.  We’ve been constantly trading ideas since the start of Silk City and finally found the time to bring some of them to life. We came out with this classic house record and Ellie was kind enough to lend her voice to it,” explains Diplo.

Mark adds, “I love the music that comes out when Wes and I get together.  It has a joy to it that’s different from everything else I work on. I’ve known Ellie for over ten years, and it’s great to finally get to make something together. Her voice has such a pure tone that cuts through everything.”
