Alesso Unveils VIP Mix of Hit Single 'Words' Featuring Zara Larsson

Delivering another dancefloor anthem, boundary-breaking dance artist and producer Alesso unveils the brand new VIP Mix of his buzzing single "Words" [feat. Zara Larsson] via 10:22PM / Astralwerks.

With the VIP Mix, he amplifies the energy all around. He infuses the track with a four-on-the-floor groove punctuated by glitchy hi-hats and ethereal flourishes. The instrumental intro sets the scene with its pulsating flow before Zara's vocals kick in, echoing with the wild drop on the disco-style refrain, "You're gonna run away."

Meanwhile, the original "Words" has already amassed over 25 million streams and nearly 6 million views on the music video. Right out of the gate, Billboard helmed it the leading track on their "10 New Pop Songs To Get You Through The Week" and V Magazine called it a "song that is sure to be played at clubs everywhere this summer."

"Words" follows the one-two punch of Alesso's recent singles "Only You" (a Sentinel-assisted anthem hailed as a "progressive house gem" by Dancing Astronaut) and "Dark" (a moody and kinetic piece handcrafted for THE BATMAN). As the latest high-profile collaboration from Alesso, "Words" drops just months after the GRAMMY®-nominated visionary teamed up with Katy Perry on "When I'm Gone" - an irresistibly explosive track that soon saw him making his "Saturday Night Live" debut alongside the global pop superstar and a troupe of mushroom dancers. The critically acclaimed hit also amassed praise from a great number of outlets, including INTERVIEW, PAPER, PEOPLE, and many more.

Hot off EDC Las Vegas, Alesso is now kicking off a new multi-year residency with TAO Las Vegas and embarking on 15 North American dates for Bad Bunny's "World's Hottest Tour." Tickets are available for purchase HERE. See all dates below.
