Armin van Buuren said: "Seeing this sound make a comeback is really exciting because it blends the best of both worlds—massive festival anthems with deep, emotional melodies. ‘Sound of You’ was made for the biggest stages, and I can’t wait to keep playing it and see where it goes next. From the moment I wrote this track, I knew Rob Swire was the perfect voice for it, and I’m so glad he said yes!”

Rob Swire, frontman of Pendulum, reflected on the collaboration: “Armin and I had talked about working together for a while. When he played me the ‘Sound of You,’ instrumental, I knew instantly I wanted to sing on it. We recorded it in early-2024 and it was amazing to see Armin unveil it at Ultra Miami.”
