German imprint Crash Your Sound, “Girl In Ibiza” brings together Hamburg duo WITH U and Ugandan breakout Joshua Baraka on a collaboration that feels as organic as its origin story. The track began with a TikTok studio clip of Joshua singing the now-instant topline; after stumbling across it online, WITH U rebuilt the idea in their DAW and posted their take back to the platform, prompting Joshua to respond immediately and turn a spontaneous exchange into an official release. Musically, “Girl In Ibiza” fuses Joshua‘s warm, unmistakable vocal presence with WITH U‘s melodic, groove-led production, landing somewhere between sunlit escapism, open-air emotion and the easy pull of a record built to travel. With both artists carrying fast-growing momentum in their respective lanes, the single not only captures the carefree pull of Ibiza in the title, but also reflects how naturally European electronic textures and East African warmth can meet in one record when the chemistry is right.
“We were just scrolling through TikTok one evening when we stumbled upon this clip of Joshua in the studio, vibing with some producers and singing this insanely catchy melody. It instantly caught us – the vibe, the emotion, everything. We opened our DAW right away, built a remake around it, and posted it back as a reaction. Joshua saw it, loved it, and that’s how the collaboration was born. What started as a random scroll turned into ‘Girl in Ibiza.'” – WITH U
“That video was just me in the studio, having fun with an idea I’d been humming all day. I didn’t expect much – but when I saw how WITH U used my vocals on TikTok I was blown away by what they did with it. It felt fresh, it felt right. We connected instantly and decided to make it official. ‘Girl in Ibiza‘ really came from that moment of creative spontaneity – nothing forced, just pure vibe.” – Joshua Baraka
