Swedish House Mafia, purveyors of confetti cannons, pyrotechnics, and EDM (in that order) are expected to release a new single this week.

After mysterious posters appeared in discrete places like New York’s Times Square, the trio — comprised of Swedish producers Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso — have apparently confirmed their first new music in nine years will drop on Thursday, July 15. It will apparently feature Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake, and is set to be titled ‘Lifetime’ (according to a Spotify ad that seemed to have been released by accident).

Additionally, Swedish House Mafia been locked in as the musical guests for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 19, alongside Ty Dolla $ign and 070 Shake.

SHM’s famous ‘three dots’ in Times Square.

It’ll be the EDM veterans’ first new music since their 2012 LP Until Now, which held singles such as ‘Save The World’, ‘Greyhound’, and ‘Antidote’. If that doesn’t jog your memory, wave a Smirnoff Ice under your nose and put on ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ — it remains one of the biggest EDM singles of all time, and was the final single they released before disbanding after a 2013 tour.

After years of rumours they’d be returning (it was practically a running series on every dance music website) the group finally reunited onstage at Ultra festival in Miami in 2018, declaring they were back for life. They played a bunch of shows throughout 2019, before grinding to a halt due to COVID.

Despite those shows, this upcoming single will be the first piece of new music fans have heard for nearly a decade — so, understandably, they lost it.

Time to go find those glow sticks.
