Martin Garrix and Jex release new single ‘Told You So’

Multiplatinum artist, superstar DJ, and elite producer Martin Garrix joins forces with rising electronic pop songstress Jex on a new joint single entitled Told You So out now via STMPD RCRDS/Eddie O Entertainment/Casablanca Records.

Garrix kickstarts the track with pulsating synths uplifted by soaring strings. Locking into a head-nodding groove,a prominent bass thump underlines Jex’s arresting melodies. Hypnotic verses break like a wave on a dramatic drop as she laments, “Don’t wanna hear my heart say, ‘I told you so’.

The dynamic pairing on Told You Socame about via TikTok, where Jex posted a video of her singing the song’s vocal hook. This post caught the attention of Garrix, who then immediately reached out to produce the track. On the new collaboration,Garrix comments,“working on this together with Jex was an absolute dream and I can’t wait to share it with the world!”Jex adds “From writing this hook alone in my apartment, to Martin finding it and bringing it to life, this entire thing has been a dream come true. “Told You So” is so authentic & special, and I am stoked for it to finally be out in the world.”

Recently, Garrix was crowned ‘The World’s No. 1 DJ’ in this year’s DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll. This achievement marks the 5th time Garrix has been recognized as No. 1, matching fellow Dutchman Armin van Buurenfor the record of most poll wins in history.

Meanwhile, Jex linked up with Rival and Lost Sky on the recent favorite Where You Are,which has already gathered 1 million streams and counting.

Jex has consistently distinguished herself as a powerhouse vocalist, dynamic songwriter, and singular presence without comparison. Hailing from Bridgeton, NJ, she notably honed her chops with a decade-plus of classical piano training. Picking up a microphone, she eventually made waves by flaunting her show stopping range on popular collaborations such as Light It Up with Robin Hustin and TobiMorrow, Where We Started with Lost Sky, and Control with Unknown Brain and Rival. Surging on DSPs, she has impressively gathered over half-a-billion streams and counting. Along the way, she signed to Ultra Publishing as a songwriter and Casablanca Records as an artist. In a serendipitous moment, Alan Walker discovered Jex on TikTok which developed into a dream come true collaboration. She continues to captivate with more new music, beginning with the blockbuster Martin Garrix collaboration Told You So in 2024.

One of the youngest and most successful DJs/producers championing the pop and electronic scene, Martin Garrix has taken his expertise across the globe, by headlining festivals, breaking through territories, and collaborating with major stars including Dua Lipa, Bono and The Edge (U2), Khalid, and Macklemore. Born and bred in The Netherlands, the DJ/producer, Garrix burst through the EDM stratosphere in 2013 by debuting the single Animals. The invigorating, dance-floor stomper soared to the top of the charts worldwide, ultimately altering the status of what would be considered popular music, solidifying Garrix as the new face of electronic music at the early age of 17 years.

Garrix is responsible for providing us anthemic dance and pop records through the 2010s and beyond. His ear for electronic-infused backdrops has allowed him to impact the world with his infectious productions, both digitally (20 million monthly Spotify listeners) and through monumental, once-in-a-lifetime performances (Winter Olympics 2018, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, UEFA Euro 2020), all while spearheading his record label STMPD RCRDS. Garrix has been recognized as no. 1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll as recently as 2024, tying fellow Dutchman Armin van Buuren for the record number of wins in this honor with 5. There’s no doubt that Garrix’s ability to reinvent his brand and fearlessly experiment with his sound, by filtering its many streams of creativity to the masses with such ease, is an undeniable testament to his talent and longevity, ultimately driving his legendary narrative even further.
