A decade after their chart-topping hit “Catch & Release (Deepend Remix)” took the world by storm, Matt Simons and Dutch DJ/producer Deepend join forces once again for a brand-new single: “These Nights”, releasing April 25, 2025.
Their first collaboration became a global phenomenon, with the Deepend remix of “Catch & Release” hitting #1 in countries like Germany, France, Belgium, and Spain, and charting in over 25 countries worldwide. The song amassed over 500 million streams and earned multiple platinum certifications, solidifying its place as one of the standout dance-pop crossovers of the decade.
Now, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of that iconic track, Simons and Deepend return with “These Nights” — a moody, introspective anthem for the quiet, restless hours before dawn.
“These Nights is a song about the times you can’t sleep, mind racing, still up at 5am so you catch the sunrise. Although they can be stressful, some of the deepest thinking and growing happens on nights like these,” says Matt Simons.
Built around Simons’ signature heartfelt vocals and Deepend’s atmospheric production, the song captures the emotional depth of those sleepless nights — moments of solitude where reflection and growth quietly unfold.
Having gained recognition over the years with millions of streams, Matt Simons’ career spans a decade of captivating work. After his debut album Pieces in 2012, followed by Identity Crisis in 2022, he continues to evolve as an artist. Now based in Los Angeles, Matt’s music combines personal lyrics and soothing melodies, creating an emotional connection with listeners worldwide through his unique storytelling.
