Martin Garrix releases new single “This Dream Of You,” featuring his own vocals after having previously debuted the track at Tomorrowland

After debuting it at Tomorrowland Belgium earlier this summer, Martin Garrix’s “This Dream Of You” is finally here. The progressive house track features Martin Garrix’s own vocals and warm melodies. Its lyrics focus on finding hope in someone when everything else feels uncertain. Martin Garrix first teased the track through an orchestral opening before later playing it in full at Ushuaïa Ibiza. It quickly became one of the IDs people were waiting to see released.

Why “This Dream Of You” Feels More Personal

One of the most personal parts of This Dream Of You comes from Martin Garrix singing on the track himself. He has spent years producing his own releases, but recording his vocals pushed him into unfamiliar territory. Martin Garrix described singing as “very far out of my comfort zone.” What began as an experiment eventually became part of the finished track. That gives the song a connection to him beyond production alone.

That interest in singing had already become part of Martin Garrix’s creative process before the track came out. He had shared clips of himself singing and playing guitar. Those clips showed another side of his musical development outside his usual work as a producer and DJ. With This Dream Of You, that experimentation became part of an official release. His vocals now carry lyrics that he had a direct role in expressing himself.

The meaning behind the track also helps explain why Martin Garrix has spoken about it as such a personal release. Its lyrics focus on uncertainty, hope and holding onto something important when the future feels unclear. His own vocals bring those ideas directly back to him. Martin Garrix first debuted the track at Tomorrowland before releasing it with his own vocals. That makes the song feel more personal than many of his previous releases.

What We Know About Martin Garrix’s Upcoming Album

“This Dream Of You” is also expected to appear on Martin Garrix’s upcoming second studio album. Martin Garrix currently plans to release the project later in 2026. It will be his first full-length album since Sentio in 2022. He has said the new project will take a different direction from the more aggressive sound of his debut.

Speaking about the album earlier this year, Martin Garrix described it as “more accessible” and “fun.” He said its wider idea centres on joy, connection and unity. Martin Garrix explained, “With so much crazy stuff happening in the world, I think everybody wants and needs music as an outlet.” He also wants the album and his shows to give people a chance to simply enjoy themselves.

Martin Garrix has already released several major tracks throughout 2026. These include “Catharina,” his collaboration with Ed Sheeran, “Repeat It,” “Bizarre” with Madonna, and “Fireflies” with U2. He has yet to announce the complete tracklist. “Catharina” and “This Dream Of You” are both expected to feature on the album. Together, they give listeners an early idea of how broad the project could be.

With “This Dream Of You” now officially released, Martin Garrix still has plenty more to come before the end of 2026. His second studio album is on the way. He has also introduced several new tracks throughout the year, with more details expected in the coming months.
