The final song of the night is possibly a bittersweet moment, a culmination of energy and togetherness, yet, at the same time, a shared refusal to accept that it has to end. It’s this feeling that Italy’s Grammy-nominated trio Meduza seek to capture on ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’, their recently released single on Island Records.
Meduza: “We wanted to create something that really captured a moment we experience almost every time we play. At the end of a set, when the lights come up and the night is technically over, there are always people in the crowd who just don’t want it to end. They start chanting “one more song, one more song,” and there’s this shared feeling in the room where everyone wants to hold onto the energy of the night for just a little longer.
“Instead of just playing an extra record, we thought it would be interesting to actually write a song that embodies that feeling, the refusal to let the night end, the last burst of energy on
the dancefloor, and that collective connection between the DJ and the crowd when nobody is ready to go home yet.
“The track is meant to feel like an anthem for that exact moment: the final stretch of the night when everyone is still locked in, asking for one more.”
With apparently almost 20 billion streams to their name, Meduza have grown since their 2019 debut ‘Piece of Your Heart’. An act with multiple chart hits and platinum records, their sound plays to audiences from nightclubs to mainstages, and festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC and Coachella as well as residencies in Las Vegas, and Ibiza.
Meduza Feat. Henry Camamile ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’ is out now on Island Records.
