Multi-platinum selling pop sensation Ananya Birla and multi-platinum Jamaican/American hitmaker Sean Kingston will release their highly anticipated single Day Goes By via Universal Music/Island Records on 20^th September 2019.

The infectious anthem will premiere on Billboard upon release and is directed by Mike Ho who has worked with the likes of Chris Brown, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj. It sees Ananya in a contemporary, captivating and chic avatar. Ananya’s unmistakeable pop vocals blend perfectly with Kingston’s trademark reggae-R’n’B fusion as the duo trade verses on seduction and infatuation.

Kingston first took the world by storm with his debut single Beautiful Girls back in 2009. He linked up with Ananya, the only homegrown artist to go platinum singing in English in India, when they shared the stage for his 2018 worldwide tour. Their mutual artistic admiration led them to the studio in LA for their first creative collaboration.

Co-written by Kingston and Ananya and self-produced, Day Goes By marks one of the first major pop collaborations between a US and Indian artist. 

Sean Kingston, whose forthcoming album, Made In Jamaica, is set to feature Chris Brown, Tinashe and Justin Bieber says, “It was so beautiful and easy to work with Ananya. We linked up in India and she played me a few of her records and immediately I knew our sound together would be dope!! I knew exactly the “type of record” she was missing and that was day goes by”. 

Speaking about how the single came about, Ananya Birla adds "Day goes by is for anyone who’s lost their mind in love... It’s been brewing for a little while now: Sean and I knew we wanted to make something that captures that intoxicating feeling, and also make it super fun– something that people could dance to. When we got into the studio it all came together so quickly and organically. Sean’s an amazing collaborator and there was always such a positive vibe. I’m so excited to share it with the world.”

It has been a big year for both artists. Kingston just finished a sell-out 17 show world tour and released his latest track Peace Of Mind. Ananya, who has racked up nearly 200 million streams since signing with Universal Music in 2016, dropped her debut EP Fingerprint in May which included the hit single Blackout feat Vector and Wurld. She is the first artiste in Indian history to go platinum in the English music genre, and followed this feat with five back-to-back platinum releases and one double platinum (Meant To Be).
