"Waterfalls" is a song by British music producer James Hype featuring British singer Sam Harper and British music producer Bobby Harvey, released by Island Records and Universal Music on 8 August 2025.
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. Hype then teased the track several times on stage before its official release.
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.
Five remixes of "Waterfalls" by Samurai Jay, Ely Oaks, Noah Kraus, Cooper Smith, and Haven 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".
