After more than a decade of anticipation, two of the biggest names in global music have finally delivered the moment fans have been waiting for. Dutch electronic artist Martin Garrix and British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran have officially released their long-awaited collaborative single, “Repeat It”, cementing one a widely anticipated crossover between EDM and pop in recent years.
Originally teased and road-tested in various forms since 2014, “Repeat It” has lived a long life in the electronic music underground before finally arriving in its finished form. The track melds Sheeran’s recognisable vocals and acoustic songwriting with Garrix’s powerful festival production, resulting in a mix of emotional pop and big mainstage energy. First introduced to audiences during Garrix’s early festival sets, the track quickly became a cult favourite among fans despite never receiving an official release.
Now released via STMPD RCRDS, the single arrives as both artists return to and refine the original idea first created in the studio over a decade ago. According to reports, the final version refines the structure for a more radio-ready finish while still preserving the nostalgic DNA of the original demo that fans have chased for years.
For Garrix, the release marks a personal milestone and a reflection of his early career, while for Sheeran it signals another move into electronic music, bringing together two worlds that rarely meet on this scale. With “Repeat It” now officially out, the long-standing myth surrounding one of EDM’s most elusive collaborations has finally been brought to an end.
