"Byte" is a song by Dutch DJs Martin Garrix and Brooks.[1][2] It was released on 7 April 2017, via Garrix's record label Stmpd Rcrds and Sony.[3][4]

Background

Garrix debuted the song at the 2017 Ultra Music Festival in Miami. He revealed a snippet of the song on Snapchat one day prior to the festival, and on Instagram several months ago.[5][6][7][8][9] In a tweet by Garrix, he stated he was releasing two "things" on Friday, 7 April 2017 — the song "Byte" and the acoustic version of his previous single "Scared to Be Lonely" with British singer Dua Lipa.[10] "Byte" is described as a 'return to EDM' for Garrix as his previous singles "In the Name of Love" and "Scared to Be Lonely" were seen as pop music.[11] Before its release, the song was compared to Garrix's 2014 collaboration "Tremor" with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.[6]

Media usage

The song has appeared on The Simpsons from the episode "The Miseducation of Lisa Simpson".
