Producer/DJ Zedd teams With vocalist Alessia Cara for his latest single, “Stay.”
The infectious track continues to showcase Zedd’s Booming production while spotlighting the unique tone and mesmerizing delivery from Alessia
“All you have to do is wait a second / Your hands on mine / The clock is ticking so stay,” Alessia sings.
“I think this song is right in the middle between where Alessia is musically and where I am and that’s what’s so exciting about it,” said Zedd. “I’ve been trying to knock down barriers around music genres and this is another step for me to walk towards a musical future where I can create any genre I want without people putting me in a box.”
“It still feels like me, just an elevated pop sound,” Alessia adds. “I don’t know that I would be in this bold on my own stuff so it’s cool to try these things with collaborators…Zedd was really hands on and made sure I was involved in every part of the process.”
“Stay” by Zedd featuring Alessia Cara is a high-energy electronic pop track that explores themes of desire and the fleeting nature of moments. The song opens with a simple piano riff, quickly joined by a pulsating electronic beat that creates an atmosphere of anticipation. Zedd’s signature production style is evident, with crisp synth layers and dynamic drops that add excitement and drive.
Alessia Cara’s vocals bring a rich emotional depth to the track. Her delivery is smooth and expressive, capturing the urgency of the song’s narrative. The lyrics tell a story of two people trying to hold onto a moment, seeking to extend the magic just a little longer. Cara’s voice carries a sense of longing and determination, pulling the listener into the intensity of the moment.
The chorus is anthemic and memorable, with a powerful drop that brings the energy to its peak. The use of electronic elements, combined with the catchy melody, creates an irresistible urge to dance. The bridge offers a brief moment of calm before the final crescendo, adding a touch of suspense to the structure of the song.
“Stay” is a captivating blend of pop and EDM, perfect for both radio airplay and the dance floor. With its infectious energy, dynamic production, and Alessia Cara’s emotive vocals, the track resonates with listeners who understand the desire to hold onto a special moment, even if just for a little longer.
On April 3, Zedd will bring together Machine Gun Kelly, Macklemore, Bebe Rexha, Camila Cabello, Miguel, Skrillex, Incubus, and Tinashe, among others, for his WELCOME! fundraising concert benefitting the American Civil Liberties Union.
