The track hears Harris collaborate with Riva Starr and Sandara Maitreya.Among the Scottish producer’s upcoming shows, he’ll play a huge Glasgow stadium show at Hampden Park in July and it marks the first time he’s played his home country since he headlined T In The Park in 2016.He’s also set for a residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza from June through to September.Last weekend, Harris also performed at Glastonbury.

Reviewing his performance, NME said: “As the night leans into the morning, it’s abundantly clear Harris’ fans aren’t listening to the optimism-laced words of ‘Feel So Close To You Right Now’, as a nightcap, but as a precursor for an all-nighter.“The DJ once said he makes songs “sonically designed to make you feel fucking incredible,” and as 2am hits on Sunday morning, there’s no doubt that declaration is true.”.
