Grammy-winning icons Imagine Dragons and Japan’s genre-bending sensation Ado just dropped the final version of “Take Me to the Beach,” and it’s already setting the internet ablaze. Streaming everywhere starting December 16, 2024, this cross-cultural collab is a perfect example of what happens when two global powerhouses meet.
When East Meets West: The Ultimate Remix
Imagine Dragons, the band behind chart-smashing hits and over 160 billion streams, are no strangers to pushing creative boundaries. Their sixth album, “LOOM,” introduced “Take Me to the Beach” as an anthem of escape—a call to break free from everyday pressures and find peace. Now, Ado’s remix breathes new life into the track with her unmatched versatility, weaving soft vocals with signature growls that hit you right in the feels.
“Take Me to the Beach” isn’t just another remix; it’s the finale of a global series where Imagine Dragons collaborated with top-tier artists from around the world. Ado’s version stands out for its raw intensity and urban Japanese influence, blending her signature sound with the song’s universal message of freedom.
Ado’s Unstoppable Rise to Global Stardom
Ado’s journey from viral breakout to global phenomenon is nothing short of legendary. Her debut single “Usseewa” exploded onto the scene, and hits like “New Genesis” (which topped Apple Music’s Global Chart) made her a household name. Add in her game-changing contributions to ONE PIECE FILM RED and SPY X FAMILY Season 2, and it’s clear Ado is redefining what Japanese music can achieve worldwide.
Next up: the Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 ‘Hibana,’ where she’ll hit over 30 cities and captivate more than 500,000 fans. It’s not just a tour; it’s a global takeover.
A Track That Hits Different
Imagine Dragons just wrapped the Asia leg of their LOOM WORLD TOUR and are gearing up for their European run in 2025. Meanwhile, “Take Me to the Beach” continues to resonate as the anthem we all need—a reminder to step back, take a breath, and reconnect with what matters.
This final version with Ado is more than just a song. It’s proof that music, no matter the language, can connect us all.
