DAVID GUETTA, TEDDY SWIMS, & TONES AND I TEAM UP FOR SOARING SOUL-POP-DANCE SINGLE “GONE GONE GONE”

Must read

October 2025 (Johannesburg, ZA) — , GRAMMY®-winning hitmaker and global dance music icon David Guetta, multi-platinum artist Teddy Swims, and record-smashing pop artist Tones And I teamed up to release “Gone Gone Gone.” Out now via Warner Records, the new single is a soaring soul-pop tribute to the powerful pull of toxic love driven by undeniable dance-floor rhythms and clap-along gospel energy. Listen to “Gone Gone Gone” HERE, and stay tuned for the music video to be released next week.

The blockbuster collaboration opens on house keys and a misty atmosphere before exploding into a riot of shuffling drums, golden sax, and searing strings. Teddy Swims sets the tone with his unmistakable, dynamic voice: “We were fire, impossible to tame / Like oil in the ocean, no way to put out the flame.” Tones And I matches his emotional intensity as she belts out her side of the story: “Had a good bad lovin’ in my heart / And now I need a sequel to the movie that we made.” As choral vocals swell, they soar on the massive chorus: “I only want you when you’re gone, gone gone / Playing like we’re done, done, done / I love your game, drive me insane.”

Blending his signature energy with a more soulful edge, the DJ adds that there was “a little bit of magic in that” as the collaboration with Tones and Teddy came together and he couldn’t be happier as both of them have the “most amazing, soulful voices on the planet right now”.

“Gone Gone Gone” is only the latest monumental moment in a nonstop year for Guetta, who was just crowned The World’s No.1 DJ by DJ Mag — an honor he’s now claimed five times. He only just wrapped up four months of Ibiza residencies, including his legendary F*** Me I’m Famous! series at Ushuaïa on Mondays and his ambitious new Galactic Circus show at UNVRS on Fridays. He currently has a globe-trotting slate of headlining festival dates ahead of him and is also bringing his eye-boggling Monolith stage setup to eager audiences. The first two announced dates of his 2026 Ultimate Monolith Show at Paris’ Stade de France arena sold out almost immediately — to the tune of 240,000 tickets— so he’s added a third on June 11 with special guest Armin van Buuren. Full itinerary below and more info HERE.

Guetta has also dropped what feels like countless collaborations, remixes, and original hits this year. Continuing a historic creative partnership, he reunited with 9x GRAMMY®-nominated star Sia for the powerful new single, Beautiful People,” which hit #1 on Billboard‘s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, giving Guetta his record-breaking 18th chart-topper at Dance Radio.

Teddy Swims recently released his emotionally walloping and deeply resonant I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition), sharing new singles like God Went Crazy and All GasNo Brakes featuring BigXthaPlug alongside known hits including Bad Dreams,” “Guilty,” “Are You Even Real featuring GIVĒONThe Door,” and Lose Control.” The latter has become a 6x Platinum hit with nearly 4 billion global streams and holds the record for the longest Billboard Hot 100 run in history — “Lose Control” is currently #9 with 110 weeks on the chart and counting. Teddy Swims has been on his biggest sold-out global tour for much of 2025.

Meanwhile, Tones And I is gearing up for her next musical era following the 2024 release of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Beautifully Ordinary. Co-produced by Tones And I and featuring her as the sole writer on nearly every song, the LP captures her artistic evolution and personal growth since exploding onto the scene — transforming from a busker from Australia’s idyllic Mornington Peninsula into a global pop force who’s smashed records, garnered multiple awards, sold out tours, and surpassed 12 billion streams. Her breakout hit Dance Monkey is the most Shazamed song ever and lives in Spotify’s Top 10 Most-Streamed Songs of All-Time.

“Gone, Gone, Gone” marks the first time that any of these three culture-shifting artists have worked together — a testament to Guetta‘s incredible influence, taste, and reputation as one of the greatest hitmakers of our time. Stay tuned for a whole lot more from David Guetta
