Dillistone and DAYYANI serve up a confession for the dancefloor that feels far too familiar. Their new collaboration, “Overtime,” is a pulsing, emotional club anthem for dreamers living in the fast lane and lovers trying to keep up.
Fresh off the success of her first album, “Recipe For Love,” Danish-Iranian DAYYANI brings a sense of openness mixed with strength to her music. She wears the emotional heaviness of the words like a second skin, expressing the pain of a relationship stretched tight by ambition and the burnout that ensues when life keeps rushing forward. Her approach has an edge, and she’s stuck between holding on and letting go, which deepens every beat.
Berlin-based producer Dillistone, who’s already racked up more than 150 million streams worldwide, flexes his well-practiced muscles with a simultaneously catchy and brooding soundscape. The synths glimmer with late-night memories, the beat throbs like a panicked heartbeat, and the drop unleashes the kind of cataclysmic energy that manifests on a dance floor brimming with strangers who know what you’re feeling. “Overtime” is a sly commentary on modern love in the hustle era. The track illuminates that all-too-relatable tension between passion and presence, chasing big dreams, and being there for the ones you love. It’s that time might be the most costly currency of any relationship.
DAYYANI and Dillistone don’t merely make music together but build a mood. “Overtime” documents the messy beauty of making it all fit, scoring the quiet sacrifices and nagging epiphanies with appropriate style and spirit. Whether you were driving down neon-drenched roads or stuck inside your nighttime mind, this song lives with you. It’s the anthem for anyone who has ever had to choose between love and ambition and wants the choice to be unnecessary.
