Martin Garrix
Drown
feat. Clinton Kane
Martin Garrix is back with his first single of 2020. It’s called Drown, a collaboration with rising singer Clinton Kane.
Kane’s powerful vocals gather weight and is the perfect fit for the characteristic Garrix style. By combining forces, they have managed to establish a very powerful sound which will win hearts and minds the world over and is yet another shining example of his natural talent for working with brilliant vocalists from all over the world.
Born to Norwegian and Filipino parents and living in between multiple countries—primarily the UK and Australia, Kane grew up teaching himself to sing, play guitar, piano and the drums. Signed to Columbia, this huge talent makes for a great match for Garrix, and the pair got on like old friends when they collaborated on this track.
“Martin is such a warm human and a mad talent. It was heaps of fun writing and working with him on this track. We actually only met after the song was fully finished due to logistical issues and volcanic eruptions. Thank god for technology! Love him to death.” – Clinton Kane
“Making this track with my friend Clinton Kane was amazing! He is crazy talented and we get along very well making the studio sessions loads of fun! I’m really happy with the end result.”

I’ve been tryna keep my distance
But in an instant, you break me down
I know better than to want you
But I succumb to you without a doubt
Now the water is rising
And I’m too tired to swim
And my lungs just can’t take it
But I keep breathing you in, so
Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all to keep me close to you
Pull me under the way you do
Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Oh, anything at all to keep me close to you
Oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
I’m so used to your excuses
That when you bruise me I stick around
No point trying to make it out now
Rather be sinking than go without
And now the water is rising
And I’m too tired to swim
And my lungs just can’t take it
But I keep breathing you in, so
Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all to keep me close to you
Pull me under the way you do
Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Oh, anything at all to keep me close to you
Oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Oh, tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all to keep me close to you
Pull me under the way you do
Tonight I wanna drown in an ocean of you
