Listen to Oliver Heldens' and Armin van Buuren's First-Ever Collaboration, "Freedom"

In Oliver Heldens' and Armin van Buuren's long-awaited single "Freedom," we come to grips with the fact that sometimes the most addictive kind of freedom is choosing your own beautiful disaster.

Out now via Armada, the track is the first official collaboration between van Buuren and Heldens. The Dutch dance music superstars teamed up to release "Now Love Will Begin" in April, but that record is credited to Heldens' techno alias, HI-LO.

"Freedom" flips the script on its own title, exploring the magnetic pull of a relationship you can't—and don't want to—escape. It's the musical equivalent of a 3am text you know you shouldn't send but absolutely will.

Heldens and van Buuren merge their styles seamlessly, crafting a dance-pop anthem with synths that pulse like warning signs on a road you can't help but drive down anyway. Meanwhile, Sam Harper's vocals cut through the mix with confident precision, playing the role of the irresistible ex who knows exactly how this late-night story ends. "Ten girls in your phone, which one do you call?" she taunts, already knowing the answer.

The London-based singer-songwriter's assertive vocal delivery hits like a stiletto to the heart, turning toxic dependency into a badge of honor. In true dance music fashion, her lyricism and Heldens' and van Buuren's four-on-floor beats transform emotional warfare into something you can't help but move to.
