"Chasing Colors" is a song by American DJs Marshmello and Ookay featuring American singer Noah Cyrus.[1][2][3][4][5] It was written and produced by the former two with additional writing credits going to Skyler Stonestreet and Chase Duddy[6] and released on February 24, 2017 via Marshmello's label Joytime Collective.[7][8]

Background

[edit]

The song was previously leaked by fans on SoundCloud, YouTube and Reddit as a WAV file. It featured the vocals of the song's co-writer, Skyler Stonestreet, and was previously dubbed "Living High".[5][1] Marshmello said via his Facebook page that the track's release was actually brought forward due to the track leaking online. He stated: "When you leak an artists unreleased music you mess up all plans for that song. It's really not cool and is the reason why we decided to change things up."[9]

Composition

[edit]

It features a 'cacophony of vocaloids' and big room synths alongside Cyrus' vocals.[9]
