Grab your fave sneakers, get stretching. Stay hydrated. For her new number, VASSY leads us straight to the dancefloor.
With “On Me,” which dropped Friday, Feb. 27, VASSY joins forces with fellow Australian producer Mind Electric. The fresh release has all the groove and thump of a modern disco express, and is accompanied with high-energy club remixes from Australian DJs Douglas York and Bust-R.
“I’ve always wanted to bring disco back, but in a cool house-dance way,” VASSY tells Billboard.com. “It’s disco spirit meets late-night energy — made for the dance floor for when the lights drop and you feel completely in your power. It’s nostalgic yet current, and it reminds people that dance music can still have soul.”
The Darwin-raised, U.S.-based singer and songwriter is a trailblazer in the EDM world, a hitmaker with upwards of 3 billion career streams, six No. 1s on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, an APRA Billions Award, and a slice of history by becoming the first female and first Australian to receive the EDMA Icon Award in 2023.
Last year, VASSY took a musical detour with her BossAcoustics EP, a collection that paid homage to her roots. “Exploring Bossa Nova allowed me to reconnect with the music that inspired me to start singing in the first place,” she explains. “Having built most of my career in the Dance/EDM space, I needed to go back to the roots—to the foundation of why I fell in love with music. It was a full-circle moment. It forced me to slow down, rediscover my voice, and reconnect with my artistry beyond the production. That experience reminded me who I am at my core. Bossa Nova brought me back to my foundation; it reminded me why I started singing before the charts and before the big stages.”
“On Me” drops ahead of VASSY’s performance Friday, Feb. 27 at the Peppermint Club in Los Angeles.
There’s more music to come.
“2026 is going to be my year of pure artistry,” VASSY enthuses. “I’ve finished a body of work that I’m incredibly proud of, and I’ll be releasing it predominantly independently, working closely with local teams. I feel freer than ever — not tied down, and really able to explore my creativity without limits. It’s also going to be a big year personally. There are some major life changes happening, and I think that energy is going to translate into music in a powerful way.”
