Martin Garrix’s contender for Song of the Summer is here! His brand-new indie meets pop/dance single ‘’Smile’’ features the vocals of Carolina Liar, who is also known for being a part of The Federal Empire. The song made its grand debut during Garrix’s four sold-out shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, where Carolina Liar joined him on stage for three unforgettable live performances.

Listen to “Smile” HERE.

Carolina Liar shares more about the creation process of the song: “Smile” is the only way I can describe my emotions when I think about the creation of this song. I got my band name, Carolina Liar because no one would believe where my life takes me, and this is one of those moments. Within 72 hours, we recorded the song at a legendary Sunset Strip recording studio and embarked on a road trip from Hollywood to Vegas while shooting the music video with a temperamental vintage car that died, leaving the film crew stranded in the desert. Somehow, they made it in time to capture the Friday night live show. We danced through two of Martin’s shows and finished the adventure with Martin sitting in with Zedd at Omnia. Honestly, we could have made a movie out of all the adventures in those three days. I can’t listen to the song without smiling from the memories surrounding its creation!’’

With its uplifting melodies and feel-good lyrics, “Smile” is the perfect soundtrack for summer. The song’s message, centered around doing “anything to make you smile,” offers plenty of room for personal interpretation. 

This release marks another successful collaboration between Garrix and Carolina Liar, who previously teamed up on “Hold On & Believe.” The official music video, releasing in a couple of days, features both artists in a story arch that has them hitchhiking to make it to their Las Vegas performance on time.

Catch Martin Garrix live at Osheaga Festival in Montreal on August 3rd and Veld Festival in Toronto on August 4th!
