Some collabs you wait for, and some you lose hope in. Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran’s long-rumored joint track sat in that second category for most fans, talked about for years with nothing to show. That changed on May 14, 2026, when “Repeat It” officially dropped on STMPD RCRDS worldwide, landing on Garrix’s 30th birthday.
The track, originally circulating under the working title “Rewind Repeat It,” was first unveiled live at Garrix’s Dallas concert at the opening of his Americas tour, where the crowd heard it in full for the first time. The chemistry between both artists is clear throughout, blending Garrix’s signature melodic progressive sound with Sheeran’s unmistakable vocal warmth.
The official music video followed on May 15, directed by Nic Minns and Liam Pethick, and features real footage from both artists’ lives across the 12 years it took to bring this song to life. Garrix described releasing it around his birthday alongside Sheeran as “honestly the best gift I could’ve wished for.”
What makes “Repeat It” stand out in the current dance music landscape is exactly its emotional weight. The lyrics build around themes of holding onto a feeling, freezing time, and choosing to stay, tying into that classic anthemic Garrix energy that made tracks like “Animals” and “In The Name Of Love” global hits. The production is polished but not overworked, leaving space for Sheeran’s voice to carry the song where it needs to go.
Garrix has also confirmed that an acoustic version and a full album of mixes are planned, giving this release even more longevity beyond its initial rollout. For fans of both artists, and for anyone who’s been following dance music for the past decade, “Repeat It” is more than a song. It’s a moment.
