Produced by DubVision, Martin Garrix, MESTO, Seth Hills and Third Party.- Martin Garrix explained about some tracks for the EP.
“Carry You” with Third Party, featuring Winona Oak, and Declan J Donovan
Martin Garrix : “This world can be a really cruel and lonely place sometimes. I know how it feels trying to find your way with an unbearable weight on your shoulders. That's why I love 'Carry You' so much, because it feels like a warm hug to me. It makes me think of all the beautiful people that helped me through the darkness, all the shoulders that held up my world. This song reminds me of how safe you can feel in someone's arms and how, with only their presence, they can make you forget about your pain for a moment.”

“Breakaway” with Mesto, featuring WILHELM
Mesto : “The making of Breakaway has been one of the most enjoyable projects Martin and I have worked on together so far. After he premiered an early version of the song at Ultra Miami, we both played it throughout the summer, and hearing the crowd sing along to the melodies was truly amazing. Just a few weeks ago, we made the decision to finish the song, and once we started, we couldn't resist adding more to it. Every time we thought it was complete, one of us introduced an element that made the track 100x cooler, haha. That's why working with Marty is always a pleasure! Additionally, Wilhelm's vocals added the final finishing touch. I hope you guys will love the track as much as we do!” - source : Apple Music
