After 'Titanium': Afrojack, David Guetta, and Sia reunite for new single 'Awake Tonight'

More than a decade after the release of their iconic track 'Titanium,' Afrojack, David Guetta, and Sia have joined forces once again for a new single titled 'Awake Tonight.' This composition is far more than just another electronic premiere this season; it marks the return of one of the most recognizable creative partnerships in contemporary festival music.

A song nearly eight years in the making

According to Afrojack, the production process was exceptionally long, with roughly 40 different versions of the track created before the final cut was eventually approved.

The catalyst for completing the project was a performance of Titanium on stage at the 2025 Ultra Music Festival—a moment of collective memory for the electronic scene when the past resonated once more as the present.

As a result, the new song was born not from a studio experiment, but from the live experience of the audience.

Recapturing the energy of the festival generation

'Awake Tonight' maintains a familiar balance:

Sia's emotive vocals
expansive synthesizers
the high-energy festival architecture of Guetta and Afrojack

Yet, the track sounds more contemporary than the duo’s earlier collaborations. This is no longer simple nostalgia for the 2010s EDM era. It is its continuation in a new form.

A new release—a new phase for the European electronic scene

The single marks the debut release from Spinnin’ Records Germany, a division established through a partnership between Spinnin' Records and Warner Music Group Central Europe.

This launch demonstrates that the electronic scene continues to grow institutionally in Europe and remains one of the pivotal musical platforms for a global sound.

Music that remembers its roots

What makes this collaboration unique is that it restores a sense of the time when electronic music became the language of an entire festival generation.

The space between Titanium and Awake Tonight represents more than just a chronological interval.

It represents the passing of an era.

And the new composition sounds like its natural extension—not a repetition of the past, but a meaningful response to the present.

How has this event shaped the global sound?

It serves as a reminder that even in a rapidly changing digital world, music is capable of returning to its original sources of power—the collective experience of the crowd.

Sometimes, it is precisely these kinds of returns that create a sense of temporal continuity.

And they confirm that a generation's energy does not vanish—it simply finds a new way to sound.
