Armin van Buuren has officially confirmed the release of his new ninth studio album, Breathe Out, arriving on June 27, 2025, via Armada Music. This announcement completes the story that began with Breathe In, the introspective first half released in 2024. That project was focused on reconnection—with fans, with music, and with himself. Breathe Out now continues that journey outward, channeling creative freedom and growth into a massive 39-track release. The announcement follows the release of one of Armin’s most anticipated tracks, ‘Dream A Little Dream’ with Sam Gray, which finally dropped on April 25. Originally premiered at Ultra 2023, the track quickly caught fire across socials and became a staple in Armin’s live sets.
Creativity Through Freedom
More than just a musical sequel, Breathe Out shows Armin stepping into a phase of renewed energy and purpose. It’s a showcase of bold choices, refined songwriting, and sonic fusion across genres. “‘Breathe Out’ really shows how far I’ve come, not just as an artist, but as a person,” Armin shared. “This album is about creative freedom, living fully, and putting everything I’ve learned—especially through my journey with mental health and self-growth—into the music.” That growth is felt across the album, which presents a confident, expansive sound—without sacrificing the emotional depth that longtime fans appreciate.
Armin van Buuren’s New Album Breathe Is A Massive Body of Work
Together, Breathe In and Breathe Out make up a 51-track experience under the name Breathe. It’s a complete artistic expression built over two parts, each complementing the other. Breathe In delivered 12 tracks. Breathe Out delivers 39. This includes new songs like ‘Let It Be For Love’ featuring JAI RYU and ‘Gimme The Love’ with Seth Hills and Alessia Labate, alongside a powerhouse roster of collaborators. Artists like David Guetta, Bon Jovi, Moby, Pendulum, and Gryffin appear across the tracklist. Even longtime collaborators like W&W, Hardwell, and Vini Vici return to explore new sonic territory.
Some pairings stand out instantly. Bon Jovi joins Armin for ‘Keep The Faith’, bridging classic rock and dance with unexpected chemistry. Pendulum and Rob Swire reunite for a crossover with Armin on ‘Sound of You’, merging drum and bass roots with trance euphoria. Festival-focused anthems like ‘Take Off’ with ARTBAT and ‘Late Checkout’ with W&W ensure the album carries Armin’s signature peak-time energy. But quieter moments also shine. Tracks like ‘Es Vedrà’ and ‘Alive’ explore atmospheric soundscapes and personal emotion.
Coming Full Circle
What began with the inward reflection of Breathe In now unfolds into the outward momentum of Breathe Out. Armin’s musical identity feels more cohesive than ever. This isn’t just a DJ compiling tracks—it’s an artist presenting a vision, shaped by experience and transformation. “In many ways, it feels like coming full circle,” Armin says. That statement frames the project perfectly. Breathe Out is the culmination of a process—not just of music-making, but of becoming. And with June 27 on the horizon, fans now wait to witness the closing chapter of Armin’s most personal album to date.
