Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Armin van Buuren & Gryffin Team Up for New Song “What Took You So Long”
Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren and American DJ Gryffin teamed up to release a new song “What Took You So Long” on March 22, 2024.
This marks the first time between Armin van Buuren and Gryffin.
But they worked on the song for two years starting from 2022, and finally released it.
The song was written for Armin van Buuren's wife and is about their relationship.
It was written by Armin van Buuren, Daniel Griffith, Jake Torrey, Madison Love, and Toby Gad. Produced by Armin van Buuren, Toby Gad, and Gryffin.
The song features American singer-songwriter Madison Love as a guest vocals.
Armin van Buuren said of the song, “Collaborating with Gryffin was so special because we’re both circling back to our music roots, which puts us at similar points in our artistic journeys despite coming from different generations. What’s more is that the lyrics detail the cherished moment in my life when I first met my wife and knew she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. The title of the track is a nod to her needing a bit more convincing at first, so this one’s also for her! ‘What Took You So Long’ holds a special place in my heart and I’m so excited for the world to hear it.”- Gryffin said, “'What Took You So Long’ came about in a session I was in with Armin, Jake Torrey, Madison Love, and Toby Gad. I remember we were all talking when Armin told us a story around the concept of finding the love of your life and wondering why it took so long to find your person. All of us immediately thought the idea was incredibly powerful. From there, we started working on the production and I told Armin about the direction I was taking with my new album. We decided to dive head-first into the 140-bpm trance world and felt like the intense emotional instrumental perfectly complemented Madison’s vocals. Overall, I couldn’t be more excited with how it came out and to share with the fans.”
