With the news that the Martin Garrix & David Guetta collaboration “So Far Away” is coming out soon (potentially even this Friday), fans have been clamoring for the official stream. Supposedly with Ellie Goulding and Conor Maynard, “So Far Away” was premiered at Tomorrowland earlier this year.
Unfortunately, Garrix confirmed this past week that Goulding is no longer a part of the project, as “she didn’t want to release it.”

However, Ellie popped into the conversation to say “that isn’t true.”
They played the song at a festival before I had even heard the finished product which I was cool with but it didn’t go down well with my management or label. I have always loved the song very much.

“She didn’t want to release it” is completely untrue and unfair. I love the song!

So let this be a lesson to you: don’t mess with the major labels, or else one of your potentially biggest features could get pulled from the track!
