Hearts race and splinter in “Fall Apart,” the new collaboration from RayRay and Softest Hardout now on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records.
True to form, the two artists have crafted a hyperactive house beat that refuses to slow. But this time around, its energy belies its emotional core, serving as a relentless metronome measuring out the moments of a love’s decay.
RayRay and Softest Hard’s vocals oscillate between ecstasy and agony through bittersweet lyrics that capture the electric, in-the-moment thrill of passion and the static aftermath of its dissolution. The saccharine highs of their upbeat production give way to the acrid taste of that loss, like a honey-drizzled dessert that—underneath its sweetness—hides a hidden depth of sadness.
RayRay says the track is meant to “show a different side” of both producers, who are known for pushing the tempo to the bleeding edge.
“I’ve known Softest Hard for quite a while, and we finally had the chance to collaborate on a track together,” explains the Taiwanese dance music star. “While creating this song, I was inspired to combine uplifting melodies and rhythms to craft a song about heartbreak—something I feel I’m quite good at.”
