With her latest single, Daya dials up the intensity and tells heartbreak: “don’t call.”
Daya, the Grammy-winning artist behind global hits like The Chainsmokers’ “Don’t Let Me Down” and LLENIUM and Gryffin’s “Feel Good,” is back with a stunning new single, out now on Spinnin’ Records. Produced by Sebastian Furrer of Cazzette, “Don’t Call” showcases Daya’s knack for weaving emotive storytelling with genre-bending precision.
A striking departure from Daya’s previous work, “Don’t Call” sees the celebrated songstress diving into the realms of drum & bass while maintaining her signature pop allure. The song’s ethereal synths and spritely rhythms create a vast, expansive soundscape that contrasts beautifully with the intimate, confined energy that inspired its creation. Written in a small room in a Swedish building that once served as a prison, the song feels like a heartfelt escape, Daya’s falsettos and aching vocals soaring over the production.
She delivers lyrics that speak to the pain and liberation of letting go. The track’s climactic moments are underscored by subtle yet impactful drum & bass elements, adding a dynamic intensity that elevates its emotional weight.
“I was in Oslo the following week and couldn’t stop dancing alone in my hotel room to it,” Daya recalls, reflecting on the song’s creation. “Walking around playing it loud in my headphones looking at statues in the park on my birthday. It felt so apt for the freedom I felt in those moments of my life.”
