Background

For five years, Harvey persevered in sending demos to Hype, receiving negative responses or no response at all. When Hype heard the demo for "Waterfalls", he found it "raw" and "infectious" and said he would write the song. Within weeks, it was finalised and premiered at EDC Las Vegas, where the crowd reaction was positive. [1] Hype then teased the track several times on stage before its official release. [2]

Production

The song combines mainstream and underground elements, creating a mix of pop and club music, making it suitable for radio, dancefloors, or festivals alike. [3]

Three remixes of "Waterfalls" by Samurai Jay, Ely Oaks, and Noah Kraus were released. Oaks's version has received several reviews, noting influences of hardstyle and techno and praising its "high-energy drops and near-hardstyle intensity". [4] [5] [6]
