Happy Milestone Birthday Martin Garrix! Thirty years in, and the impact of your music speaks for itself, from the hearts you’ve touched to the artists you’ve inspired along the way. This big 30 celebration also comes with exciting news: the long‑awaited collaboration with none other than Ed Sheeran. Out at midnight on May 15, ‘Repeat It’ finally arrives via STMPD RCRDS.

Long History of ‘Repeat It’

Fans can trace ‘Repeat It’ back to Miami Music Week in 2014, when Garrix first spoke about the song in an interview. He debuted it at Ultra the following year, and the reaction never faded. From that point on, Garrix kept the track in rotation, letting it live through his sets instead of rushing it out. Each appearance felt meaningful, like a reminder rather than a tease. Over time, the song became part of his live identity, and fans held onto it with patience that only grew stronger as the years passed.

The collaboration itself never followed a predictable path. Garrix was still carving out his global rise, while Sheeran came from a world built on songwriting and emotion rather than festival drops. They met somewhere in the middle and let the song evolve naturally, even when industry delays slows everything down. This year finally shifted the narrative. Garrix and Sheeran linked up in New York, and clips spread quickly online. Billboards appeared, social posts followed, and the momentum felt intentional. The track surfaced last week at Estadio Quisqueya in Santo Domingo, just ahead of Sheeran’s stadium show, marking a long‑awaited moment that felt earned rather than overdue.

Ed Sheeran

While Ed Sheeran rarely steps fully into electronic music, this collaboration marks a meaningful moment in his catalog. Sheeran has said before this was his first real step into EDM. His strength has always lived in melody and emotion, and ‘Repeat It’ lets that shine without forcing him into a different lane. Garrix builds around the vocal instead of overpowering it, giving the song space to breathe. That balance is what makes it hit. With its nostalgic weight and festival‑ready energy, the track feels built for summer nights, long drives, and mainstage moments. It doesn’t chase trends. It simply lands at the right time, ready to live far beyond its release week. With the release just ahead, the excitement is in finally hearing Ed’s vocals over Garrix’s signature feel‑good energy.

Martin Garrix

‘Animals’ put Martin Garrix on the map, but it didn’t define his ceiling. What followed was not a quick peak, but steady growth. He evolved from a breakout teenager into a global headliner, building a catalog that stretches far beyond one defining hit. Along the way, Garrix carved out his own lane, launched his STMPD RCRDS label, and continued to shape festival culture year after year. More than a decade later, his momentum still feels intentional, not inherited.

Martin Garrix heads into summer with a packed tour schedule that shows no signs of slowing down. His live shows continue to evolve, blending new material with the energy that built his global following. From major cities to festival stages, the run feels like a full‑circle moment in his career. If he’s coming anywhere near you this summer, it’s worth making the time to catch him live.
