ZHANGYE, one of the leading figures in Chinese electronic music, teams up with Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Justin Jesso to release their new single “Growing Up.” Distributed by Cyanhill Music, the introspective yet soaring dance pop single is available on all streaming platforms HERE.

Their new single, “Growing Up,” co-written and produced by ZHANGYE and Justin Jesso in Los Angeles, blends ZHANGYE’s signature production style with Jesso’s powerful, emotive vocals. The track explores the journey of personal growth, navigating choices, tension, and eventual reconciliation. With honest and delicate writing, it portrays the search for “balance” amidst chaos, framing growth not as pain or triumph but as a natural “rhythm of life.” Through dynamic melodies, the song transforms the struggles and release of growing up into a gentle yet soaring expression of life and hope.

“Working with ZHANGYE was a wonderful experience. We both hope this song can evoke a sense of ‘balance’ within listeners, and inspire them to gently embrace every stage of life.” – Justin Jesso

“Justin Jesso’s voice infuses this song about growth with profound soul and resonance. I hope ‘Growing Up’ can accompany everyone who is seeking strength along their personal journey.” – ZHANGYE

Recognized as one of the most influential figures in China’s electronic music scene in recent years, ZHANGYE has been making significant strides on the international stage. In October, he released the collaborative single “Where Do We Go” with Steve Aoki, and in November, as the initiator of CHINA EDM Vol.2, he launched a global open call exclusively for Chinese female DJs and producers, further highlighting the vitality and global potential of Chinese electronic music.

Following the global success of CHINA EDM Vol.1 in 2024, Cyanhill Music and founder ZHANGYE announce the launch of CHINA EDM Vol.2, a groundbreaking all-female Chinese electronic music compilation. This edition is exclusively open to Chinese female producers and DJs, celebrating their rising presence on major stages, international festivals, and in innovative musical fusion. Building on the first compilation’s global recognition, CHINA EDM Vol.2 aims to shine a spotlight on exceptional talent while maintaining the highest standards of musical quality, marking a historic moment for Chinese electronic music worldwide. Submissions are open until January 18, 2026 (GMT+8).

ZHANGYE and Steve Aoki’s “Where Do We Go” is a high-octane journey through the golden era of Future Bass with a modern twist. Opening with an emotionally charged Dance-Pop verse and building into a dynamic Future Bass drop, the track layers Wobble Chords with a Melodic Trap Lead to create a rich, unforgettable sound. Born from a shared vision and instant creative connection, this collaboration blends timeless textures with raw energy, making “Where Do We Go” a track destined to ignite dance floors and spark limitless musical possibilities.
